Observing Jupiter

Next viewing to be determined

I invite you to join me in observing Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. With the aid of telescope, we'll witness the dance of its four largest moons - Io, Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa - as they orbit around the gas giant. Marvel at Jupiter's intricate atmospheric bands, showcasing the planet's dynamic weather patterns. If conditions permit, we may even catch a glimpse of the Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has raged for centuries. Don't miss this chance to witness the beauty and grandeur of our celestial neighbor up close!

Your contribution will help me continue to inspire curiosity and share the wonders of the universe with our community. Thank you!

Sidewalk astronomy is more than a telescope on a street corner, it's a gateway to curiosity, knowledge, and communal engagement with the marvels of nature.
