This photograph is a montage of Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io. The photos were taken by the New Horizons spacecraft during it’s Jupiter flyby in 2007. Earthbound observers only ever see a full Jupiter. Anytime you see an image of a not-full outer planet, it was taken by a spacecraft.

–Star gazers have plenty of glorious sights in the evening and morning darkness. The Moon, as always, moves through the Zodiac and past planets, scooting above Jupiter on Sunday and Monday. In this edition Kathleen tells you how to find Uranus (unknown until the invention of the telescope) through your ordinary binoculars, since it is conveniently close to Jupiter.
