Great news, never knew that you can see the moons of Jupiter with only binaculars. Cant wait for 2022!

its good

I live in New Zealand are we talking Sunday as the first sighting????

You'll always be able to see Jupiter, but it will be the brightest in 47 yrs on Monday-Tuesday. It will remain very bright for some time to come (around a month). You'll know when you see it.

I have been enjoying the view in unseasonal clear skies over the last few weeks.

Even though this week's full moon is nearby in the sky, Jupiter is still spectacularly bright. I love it!

Thats not Jupitar, ITS NIBIRU!!!!

Oh yes, so it is. It is seven years too late. Perhaps it was stuck in traffic.

To make up for its tardiness, it will cause global extinctions just in time to get humanity off the hook for bodging the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Phew, that is a relief!

I think I saw this planet on 10-13 September 2010 (at those night, the sky is clear and full of stars)
