Storm at Saturn's north pole

Querían comer pollo xD

On June 9, the two brightest planets in our night sky will appear just 1.5° apart above the western horizon after sunset — close enough to fit comfortably in the same binocular view.

For a few evenings around the event, you'll be able to step outside and see a stunning planetary pairing with your own eyes:

✨ Venus blazing at magnitude -4.2 ✨ Jupiter shining nearby at magnitude -1.7 ✨ One of the most beautiful naked-eye astronomy events of the year

No telescope required.

Just find a clear view toward the west-northwest horizon about 30–60 minutes after sunset and look for the two brilliant lights hanging together in the twilight.

If you have binoculars, the view becomes even better, with Jupiter's four largest moons potentially visible as tiny points of light beside the giant planet.

Events like this remind us that some of the most spectacular sights in astronomy don't require expensive equipment—just a clear sky and a few minutes of attention.

" Jupiter the most badass planet in the Solar System... It is the largest & the oldest planet in the Solar System. It has 79 moons, some of which are even larger than planet Mercury! It is large enough to fit 1300 Earths. It is covered with giant storms some of which are even larger than Earth! jupiter is called a 'Failed Star If it had enough mass, its core could've sustained nuclear fusion like the Sun. And most importantly.. lts gravity protects Earth from asteroids & comets & also helps stabilize the Solar System"
