======================== Jupiter is only two days away from opposition and now shining brighter than it has since 1963, when I was 6 months old LOL.  Here we see the king of planets along with Neptune and Juno, appropriately enough, being Jupiter's wife, arrayed along the ecliptic to the upper right of Jupiter in this early evening view when they are all still rising.  Jupiter is magnitude -2.94, Neptune +7.82, while Juno is +8.15, dimmed somewhat from its opposition brightness.
