Go take a look at Jupiter this evening.

Last time it was this bright was 1963. Next time 100 years from now.

1. Do you have any information on

where in the sky to find it?

[boston bean]

2. No other than I just went out and looked at it. You can't miss it.

[Mr.Bill]

5. I'm on the west coast.

Still daylight here.

6. You won't miss it. Brightest thing in sky.

8. I just looked southeast and there was only one bright star.

Must be Jupiter.

4. My kid and I saw it over the weekend.

It was definitely the brightest object in the sky. Interesting about it being the brightest since 1963. Thanks for sharing that!

9. My whole family just saw it. Thank you.

That was great.

10. I Live Far Enough Out...

...that if I go 5 miles east the light pollution will be practically zero.
I'm looking forward to seeing it!

[Mr.Bill]

11. Okay, I'm seeing it now.

It had to rise above some trees to come into my view. It must be a little hazy out tonight, because I can only faintly see a few stars. It is definitely the brightest thing in the sky.

12. I'm in Denver, and

wow!

What a sight!

Thanks for the heads up...I should say, head up, literally.

Speaking of sku stuff, I was glad to see my old friend Orion return recently after being gone for months.

15. Mars was also chillin just to the east

Pulling an all nighter for an exam and stepped out. I live in an area with darker skies, and it was really quite vividly red just now (2AM). It's also an impossibly clear moonless night here. Very starry.
