Jupiter and Its Moons
With the NCAA Basketball Tournament a part of history, your Mom and I don't watch TV anymore. Instead, we wait for the first star. Last night, it wasn't a star, but a planet, Jupiter. You can see it if you look West. We don't have a telescope, but I was excited when we could see several moons -- all of the Galileans for sure -- with the binoculars. By the time it got very dark, we could see seven moons of Jupiter. You don't need a telescope. Binoculars will do. I was not able to see them with the naked eye. Hope you take advantage of this.
