Nedslagsmærker af kometen Shoemaker-Levy 9 på den sydlige halvkugle af Jupiter

Brudstykker af kometen Shoemaker-Levy 9 gav i 1994 en stor opvisning i hvilke kræfter der er i spil i Solsystemet idet de slog ned på Jupiter med en hastighed af omkring 60 km/s svarende til 216.000 km/t. Nedslagene blev observeret ved hjælp af rumsonden Galileo.[7]

The largest planet in the Solar System will reach its point of opposition tonight, April 7.

Jupiter will position itself in the Virgo constellation almost directly across from the Sun, lighting it up in the night sky.

The gaseous giant will also be its closest point to Earth and will be clearly visible in the UK between 8.20pm BST and 5.45am BST.

The planet will rise in the east together with the Sun and trek across the sky until it sets in the west at sunrise.

Accuweather meteorologist Dave Samuhel said the best time to observe the planet is around might.

He said: "The best time to observe is when it's highest in the sky which is close to midnight local time."

He added: "With a simple pair of binoculars, you can spot three or four of Jupiter's largest moons."

The celestial event not only gives astronomy enthusiasts the chance to clearly observe the planet, but it will also shine a spotlight on its moons.

Jupiter has a total of 53 named satellites and the four largest ones will be easy to spot tomorrow night.

With the help of a bigger telescopes, it might even be possible to spot the famous red cloud formations on the planet.
