Explanation:
Jupiter looks sharp in these two  
rooftop telescope images.  
  
Both were captured last year on November 17 from Singapore, planet Earth,  
about two weeks after  
Jupiter's 2023 opposition.  
  
Climbing high in midnight skies the giant planet  
was a mere 33.4 light-minutes from Singapore.  
  
That's about 4 astronomical units away.  
  
Jupiter's planet girdling  
dark  
belts and light zones  
are visible in remarkable detail, along with the giant world's  
whitish oval vortices.  
  
Its signature  
Great Red Spot is prominent in the  
south.  
  
Jupiter rotates rapidly on its axis once every 10 hours.  
  
So, based on video frames taken only 15 minutes apart,  
these images form a stereo pair.  
  
Look at the center of the pair and cross your eyes until  
the separate images come together to see the  
3D effect.  
  
Of  
course Jupiter  
is now not far from its 2024 opposition.  
  
Planet Earth is set to pass between the  
Solar System's ruling gas giant  
and the Sun on December 7.
