Jovian Opposition

Saturday 9 January from 7:45pm to 9:45pm
For all ages. No admission fee. Weather permitting.

Jupiter is about 180 degrees from the Sun, rising in Gemini as the Sun sets in Sagittarius. On this night we are then the closest we’ll be to Jupiter this year!

The King of the Planets is very compelling and all four Galilean moons will be visible.
