See the Moon and Jupiter Pair Off in Tonight's Sky!
Jupiter is ideally placed for evening viewing, shining high and free where trees and other obstructions reach in vain to hide it, and where even the ill-effects of atmospheric seeing are at their least. Jupiter is currently shining in Virgo. On Sunday, May 7, Jupiter, the nearly full moon, and the bright star Spica will appear together in the eastern sky starting about 6:30 pm local time. The moon and Jupiter will fit within a binocular field of view and make a nice photo opportunity.
