On Sunday (Sept. 11), the largest planet in the solar system will be seen next to the moon.
At around 1:57 a.m. ET on Sunday , the conjunction will reach its highest point in the sky — 49 degrees above the southern horizon. The moon-Jupiter conjunction will continue to be visible until around 6:13 a.m. ET at which time they will both disappear in the dawn twilight at around 19 degrees above the western horizon.
Because of the wide angular separation of the moon and Jupiter during this conjunction, the event won’t be visible in the field view of a telescope. This means Sunday's conjunction will be best seen by the naked eye or with a pair of binoculars. Clear, dark skies, will be an advantage in spotting the conjunction.The moon moves rapidly through the night sky in comparison to other cosmological bodies passing each constellation around once a month.
