Jupiter at Opposition - a photo on Flickriver

            Opposition is when a planet (further out in orbit than Earth) is opposite us in its orbit around the sun. 

So when the sun sets, a planet at opposition rises!. You can enjoy seeing Jupiter all night, but it is easiest to spot low in the eastern sky in the evening and low in the western sky at sunrise. 

Oppositions often occur when a planet is at its closest approach to Earth. During an opposition, a planet's full daylight faces side to us. So Jupiter really is brighter and (just a bit) bigger right now!

Jupiter at opposition is an astronomical event everyone can enjoy easily enjoy with their eyes, and if you have binoculars or a telescope, look for Jupiter's larger moons.
