Jupiter as most of you may now know is closer to Earth in our separate orbits. In fact it was recently in opposition. If you all have a decent telescope I highly recommend taking a look. The accompanying photo is a simple cell phone snap shot of the planet and 3 of the 4 moons normally viewed with it. I believe they are known as the Jovian moons. Our blog creator has a much better photo taken with purposely made and used gear but he has to share that one lol
