Jupiter Opposition Shines Bright in Pittsburgh Skies
In Pittsburgh the evening sky shows Jupiter bright after sunset, brighter than any star except the moon. The planet reaches opposition on the 24th, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise, with visible equatorial bands and four of its twelve moons observable through a small telescope. Three days before opposition, on June 21 at 3 06 am, the Summer Solstice occurs.
