Tonight's Closing Thoughts #444
Early one because GO LOOK AT JUPITER AND THE MOON
"Jupiter and the moon will appear just a finger-width apart tonight for stargazers across North America. In South America, some observers may even see Jupiter slip behind the moon in an amazing occultation. The extreme close encounter between the planet and moon is a must-see, even if clouds block your view."
"A waxing gibbous moon (78% illuminated) will pass within less than a degree to the south of Jupiter high in the evening sky. Your closed fist held out at arms length covers 10 degrees. These two wont get that close again until 2026."
