Explanation:
This is a good month to see Jupiter.  
  
To find   
our Solar System's largest planet in your sky,   
look toward the southeast just after sunset --   
Jupiter should be the brightest object in that part of the sky.   
  
If you have a binoculars or a small telescope, you should be able to   
see Jupiter's   
four brightest   
moons right nearby,   
and possibly some cloud bands.  
  
The featured image was taken about a month ago from the   
Persian Gulf.  
  
The image shows Jupiter just to the right of the nearly vertical band of the central  
disk of our   
Milky Way Galaxy.   
  
The unnamed rock formations appear in projection like the jaws of a giant monster  
ready to engulf the Jovian giant.   
  
When you   
see Jupiter,   
it may be interesting to know that NASA's robotic   
Juno   
spacecraft is simultaneously   
visiting and studying the   
giant planet.   
  
Saturn is also visible this month, and although it is   
nearby to Jupiter, it is not as bright.
