Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest planet in the solar system.

The quality of Jupiter is about 2.5 times the total quality of other planets of the solar system. This huge quality has produced a strong gravity, allowing it to capture many asteroids and comets near its orbit. This also makes Jupiter a to a certain extent. Clear the "protector" who attacked the celestial body.

Wang Kechao, the science science director of Zijin Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that Jupiter and the earth revolved around the sun, and their distance is far and near. The meeting cycle of these two planets is 399 days, which is about 13 months. In each cycle, Jupiter and Earth will usher in a "meeting". However, because the orbits running around Japan are ellipse and there is an inclination, the closest distance between the earth and Jupiter during each time the cycle will be different.

The "meeting" of Jupiter and Earth on September 26 this year is the closest time in the past 59 years, about 3.95 astronomical units, about 591 billion kilometers, which also provides people with unique opportunities for Jupiter.

Wang Kechao told reporters that Jupiter is currently near Pisces. In China, as long as it is dark, you can see Jupiter rising from the east, and Jupiter will hang in the night sky all night. It looks brighter than any star in the sky than the sky. Many, we can feel it intuitively with the naked eye. After finding it, if you still want to see more details, you can observe with the help of an astronomical telescope.
