Spartan Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 On January 21, 2013, the moon swept near the planet Jupiter. North Americans were particularly well-placed to see the moon and Jupiter very close together in the evening sky. In fact, as seen from the U.S. and Canada, this was the closest the moon and Jupiter will appear in our sky until the year 2026. It was a waxing gibbous moon – more than half-lighted but less than full – that passed less than a degree to the south of Jupiter last night. The pairing was very beautiful, as seen from around the globe, not only on [url="http://earthsky.org/tonight/waxing-moon-closer-to-jupiter-on-january-21"]January 21[/url] but also on January [url="http://earthsky.org/tonight/moon-in-front-of-aries-the-ram-on-january-19"]19[/url] and [url="http://earthsky.org/tonight/waxing-moon-approaching-jupiter-on-january-20"]20[/url], and for several nights before that as well.

In the second half of January 2013, we all can watch at the moon edges toward Jupiter until – on January 21, 2013 – we in the U.S. and Canada see the moon and Jupiter the closest they’ll appear until the year 2026. This post contains many photos of the moon and Jupiter as seen in the last months of 2012. Enjoy them, and enjoy the sky.
