It would be a riot if Trump takes credit for this...in a Twitter post.

Be great if they told us where to look. West coast/east coast etc.

While everybody is looking away from the sun and staring at Jupiter, expect the aliens to come from out of the sun. It’s an old trick...just watch any WW II movie about fighter pilots. The bogies always come from the sun.

ROFL!!!
That was hysterical :)
I’m sure there’s a kook or two out there in the world who will really believe that :)

Cool! I put it on my calendar with reminders 1 day in advance and 2 hours in advance of 9 PM Monday night. Fingers crossed for clear skies.

You look at Jupiter to see Jupiter’s moons. Where else would you look?
Sheesh.

As long as Uranus keeps its distance.

Toward the south if you’re in the U.S. Southeast after sunset, southwest before sunrise.

First I have to identify Jupiter! Sorry but all shiny objects in sky look the same to me. Only object I can recognize for sure is our own Moon! Thank goodness there is only one moon this planet has, otherwise I would be wondering which moon is that!

Jupiter will be well positioned for viewing well after the 10th. I believe June 10 is first quarter moon, so for a week or so after that moonlight will make seeing the moons harder.
Remarkably Galileo discovered the four large moons of Jupiter without binoculars!

Brightest star in the sky, basically.

He discovered them with a telescope.
