The total lunar eclipse on November 8 can be seen in Asia, Australia, the Pacific, South America and North America between 3:02 and 8:56 a.m. But for people in Eastern North America, the moon will be setting during that time. Jupiter is about 600 million miles (965.6 million kilometers) away from our home planet at its farthest point, the space agency said.

Jupiter to reach opposition: Planet's closest approach to Earth in 59 ... (Yorkshire Evening Post)

NASA is predicting 'extraordinary views' of the oldest planet in the solar system this week, as Jupiter reaches opposition - here's how to see it.

Tomorrow night will see the fifth planet from the sun come closer to earth than it has done in almost six decades - a distance of just 367 million miles away. When you have found your ideal location, look to the eastern horizon around sunset and you should be able to see the planet with the naked eye - not including the moon, Jupiter is likely to appear as the brightest object in the sky.

You can watch planet Jupiter live today as it makes its closest approach to Earth in 59 years n Monday, September 26 with the help of a good pair of ...

Juno's mission was recently extended until 2025 or until the end of the spacecraft's [life](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/life). From the viewpoint of Earth's [surface](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/surface), opposition happens when an astronomical object rises in the east as the Sun sets in the west, placing the object and the Sun on opposite sides of Earth." NASA in a [report](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/report) further said, "Stargazers can expect excellent views of Jupiter the entire night of Monday, Sept. It can be known that at its closest approach, [Jupiter](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/jupiter) will be approximately 367 million miles away from Earth- about the same distance it was in 1963. The massive planet is approximately 600 million miles away from [Earth](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/earth) at its farthest point. According to a research astrophysicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, Adam Kobelski, "With good binoculars, the banding (at least the central band) and three or four of the Galilean satellites (moons) should be visible." A good pair of binoculars should be enough to catch some details; you'll need a large [telescope](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/telescope) to see the Great Red Spot." According to Kobelski, an ideal viewing location will be at a high elevation in a dark and dry area. Jupiter will also make its closest approach to Earth since 1963 – almost six decades ago! Jupiter's closest approach to Earth rarely coincides with opposition, which means this year's views will be extraordinary. [space](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/space) and science, Monday is going to be fun for you as you will be able to watch two most interesting happenings- NASA's DART Mission spacecraft colliding with an [asteroid](http://tech.hindustantimes.com/tags/asteroid) and Jupiter's closest approach to Earth in 59 years. [NASA tweeted](https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1573423524873658372) on Saturday, "Stargazers: Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years!
