Viewing
Jupiter
You’ll
find
Jupiter
glowing
brilliantly
in
the
southern
sky
at
nightfall,
about
halfway
between
the
horizon
and
straight
overhead.
Its
banded
cloud
pattern
offers
a
pleasing
view
in
backyard
telescopes.
Start
with
a
low-power
eyepiece
and
get
the
sharpest
focus
you
can
by
turning
your
scope’s
focusing
knob
back
and
forth
slowly
until
the
bands
appear
distinct.
Then
let
go
of
the
knob
and
gaze
intently
at
the
planet.
If
the
atmospheric
“seeing”
is
good,
you
should
see
a
reasonably
sharp
image
punctuated
by
occasional
moments
of
great
clarity.
You
may
then
want
to
try
a
higher-magnification
eyepiece
to
see
if
the
larger
image
scale
reveals
more
detail
or
just
more
fuzziness.
Do
you
see
the
famous
Great
Red
Spot?
Actually,
it
will
appear
more
pink
or
coral-colored
than
red.
While
you’re
at
it,
see
if
you
can
make
out
the
newly
discovered,
junior-sized
red
spot.
It’s
the
same
color
and
about
half
the
size
of
the
Great
Red
Spot.
At
least,
that’s
how
it
looks
now.
Having
started
out
as
three
small
white
spots,
who
knows
how
it
might
evolve
in
the
coming
weeks,
months,
and
years.
It’ll
be
worth
keeping
an
eye
on!
