Jupiter's Opposition: Earth, Sun, and Jupiter align
Symbolic

On Saturday (Dec 7), Earth, the Sun, and Jupiter will align in a straight line with Jupiter remaining visible in the sky throughout the night, reports Earth Sky.

This celestial event is known as 'Jupiter's Opposition'.

According to Forbes Magazine data, there will be an opportunity to observe this astonishing event for a month before and after Saturday, with Jupiter being visible.

Even a small telescope or a regular binocular will allow viewers to enjoy the beauty of the planet.

Such rare astronomical events only increase human curiosity about the mysteries and beauty of the solar system.

Scientists have stated that on Friday, Jupiter will be located approximately 611 million kilometers (or 380 million miles) away from Earth, at which distance the planet will appear quite bright.
