Moon, Jupiter, Saturn in September 2020


Bright over-exposed moon casting light on clouds, with Jupiter and Saturn nearby.

John wrote: “We had fairly heavy rain all day (24 Sept) so I wasn’t expecting to be able to see the Jupiter/Moon conjunction but was pleasantly surprised when the clouds cleared out for a few hours. It would have been nice if Jupiter was a little closer but I was happy to catch the conjunction. All four Galilean moons were visible. I brightened them up just a bit in photoshop elements so they would be easier to see in a photo that you can’t zoom in on. From left to right, the moons are Callisto, Ganymede, Europa and just to Jupiter’s right is Io.” Thank you, John.

Bottom line: Photos from the EarthSky community of the moon’s sweep past our solar system’s biggest planets – Jupiter and Saturn – in late September 2020.
