Although Jupiter is in the low-altitude ecliptic hole of Sagittarius, it will be at opposition on Tues, June 5 at 5:00pm. The numbers, from Astronomy.com, are: JUN 05 at 23 hr UT: Opposition in Celestial Longitude [Tues. June 5 at 5:00PM MDT] JUN 05 at 23 hr UT: Greatest Elongation of 179.3° [Tues. June 5 at 5:00PM MDT] JUN 06 at 01 hr UT: Opposition in Right Ascension [Tues. June 5 at 6:00PM MDT] JUN 06 at 04 hr UT: Greatest Brilliance at Mag -2.6 [Tues. June 5 at 10:00PM MDT] JUN 07 at 12 hr UT: Closest Approach at 4.30438 AU [Tues. June 6 at 6:00 AM MDT] So at an 11.8 year sidereal period, how long before it gets to an a good ecliptic longitude and we can get in some high altitude viewing? - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
