Evening sky on Tuesday March 8 looking east as seen from Adelaide at 22:00 ACDST. The inset is the telescopic view of Jupiter at this time, showing all four Galliean Moons. Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen).

Jupiter is at opposition tonight (8th), when it is biggest and brightest as seen from Earth. If like me, you are clouded out tonight, Jupiter will be bright and excellent viewing for many weeks to come.

To keep ypu happy, here is a list of Jupiter Moon  and great Red Spot events for this month.

This table was created using The Planets 2.02 a free program available from http://www.cpac.org.uk

Times are AEDST, subtract 30 minutes for ACDST and 3 hours for AWST. Subtract 1 hour for standard time.
GRS = Great Red Spot. S = Shadow Transit, T = Transit
