Tonight the moon and Jupiter will be visible a finger breadth's apart tonight, a rare event. Visible from N and S America, some in the southern part may even see Jupiter partly slip behind the moon, so cool. There is a telescope video stream for 30 minutes starting tonight at 9pm EST (0200 GMT), so if you're not in the viewing area or it is overcast, you can see it here http://www.space.com/19352-jupiter-moon-close-encounter-webcast.html :)

I can see Jupiter and the moon beautifully already, but I think it gets closer yet. It is a handsbreadth away from the moon now rather than a finger. There is a spectacular ring around the moon, too. A magical night. :)
