[AZ-Observing] Fw: See Jupiter at its Brightest

Maybe Jupiter's brilliance will burn a big enough sucker hole in the clouds 
to see it?
Christopher Go's Jupiter photos are beyond amazing.  Interesting that his 
Little Red Spot survived an encouter with the GRS.

> JUPITER AT ITS BRIGHTEST: Jupiter reaches maximum brilliance this week, on 
> July 9th, when it makes its closest approach to Earth for all of 2008. At 
> sunset, look low and southeast for a beacon of light brighter than any 
> star. That is Jupiter rising for an all-night transit across the southern 
> sky. During this time of closest approach, Jupiter makes a wonderful 
> target for backyard telescopes. Even small telescopes reveal the planet's 
> cloud belts, its four largest moons, and the Great Red Spot, an 
> anti-cyclone twice as wide as Earth. Just a few days ago, the Great Red 
> Spot ran over a sibling, the Little Red Spot, and may have destroyed the 
> smaller storm.   Amateur images of the collision are featured on today's 
> edition of http://spaceweather.com .
