No Opposing Jupiter

Wednesday, September 28, 2022



Our solar system's largest planet, Jupiter, rises in the eastern sky (above, center) on Tuesday evening, September 27, 2022. The -2.93 magnitude planet was one day removed from its greatest opposition--the point in its orbit opposite the Sun as seen from Earth. Jupiter is the closest to Earth as it has been since October, 1963. This image was captured at 7:57 pm CDT from Bowstring Drive and Alburnett Road in the Bowman Meadows housing development in Marion, Iowa. It is a 6 second exposure at f.2/8, ISO 250 and 16mm focal length. Air temperature at this moment was 48 degrees F. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
