Jupiter and Moons


We got a good glimpse of Jupiter and its moons tonight with Jim's telescope. We didn't take this image, but this is similar to what we saw, in size and to some extent in detail (in our image you could faintly see one of the "stripes" you see on the planet here). Now if only Jimmy could stay up late enough to see too! Jupiter looks like a very bright star in our Southern sky right now--you can see it easily once it's dark.
