JUPITER AND SATURN AFTER SUNSET

These giant planets are currently well-placed for viewing, and are great
sights even in small telescopes. Here are some articles that will help you
get the most out of your planetary observing session.

JUPITER'S MOON DANCES

As Jupiter's four largest satellites gracefully dance around the giant
planet, they occasionally pass behind or in front of each other. During
the night of February 17-18, Europa first occults, then eclipses
Ganymende. Why not see what these moons are doing tonight?
