Photo-Moon and Jupiter on 7/17/08
Posted Saturday, July 19, 2008, at 12:11 AM<< Previous | Read comments | Respond | Email link | Next >>
The Moon and Jupiter in conjunction, about 7 degrees apart. Jupiter is actually almost 2000 times as far away as the Moon, with 4 of its 60+ moons almost as big or larger than our Moon. If you get KAIT-TV's 10 O'clock news Sunday night (July 20), "Offbeat With Bob" will feature the meteorites I have at the Matilda Pfeiffer museum in Piggott, and the NASA Solar System program.
