SUMMARY: Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, will directly align with the Earth and the sun — to go outside and observe this massive gaseous world and its moon.This event is called an "opposition," simply because Jupiter will be directly opposite the sun in orbit. It's special because when celestial objects are directly opposite the sun, they appear brighter in the sky. And because Jupiter will be near its closest distance to the Earth this year, it will appear slightly bigger. Jupiter reaches opposition once every 13 months.
ANALYSIS: I love science. This can connect to NASA and it's beginning with U.S space history. I think this is very cool information and helps us see things from Earth. Jupiter in opposition is very interesting and I'm glad watching it is an even other people participate in.
