Jupiter will be at its \u201cbiggest and brightest\u201d this June, offering a fantastic chance to see the largest planet in the solar system.<\/h3>\n

According to NASA<\/a>, the planet will rise at dusk and remain visible all night.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Jupiter] is a brilliant jewel to the naked eye, but looks fantastic through binoculars or a small telescope, which will allow you to spot the four largest moons, and maybe even glimpse a hint of the banded clouds that encircle the planet\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIn mid-June, Mars and Mercury appear ultra-close together immediately after sunset for two days, on June 17th and 18th (sky chart<\/a>). You’ll need a pretty clear view of the western horizon to catch them, as the pair will be only a few degrees above it (and the farther north you are, the lower they’ll be). But it should be spectacular if you can manage it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

What's Up for June? Jupiter is up all night, while Mercury and Mars decide to get close, and the Moon reveals its tilted orbit.
