Juno Post-Arrival News Conference

Keep the diary free towards the end of May to witness another very close conjunction between two of the major planets in the Solar System.

If you have a clear sky to the southeast an hour before sunrise on the morning of Friday, 6 November you will be greeted by a pairing of the old, waning crescent Moon with largest planet Jupiter. Then, on Saturday, 7 November, a slimmer crescent Moon joins planets Mars and Venus for an even closer triple conjunction. Have your binoculars and cameras ready!

The Hubble Space Telescope checks in on Jupiter, capturing another sunning view of the giant planet, its Great Red Spot and a colourful tapestry of turbulant cloud bands.
