On this occasion, Melpomene will pass within 0.863 AU of Earth and reach a peak brightness of magnitude 8.0. It will reach the highest point in the sky around midnight local time. November 5: Asteroid 18 Melpomene at oppositionĪsteroid 18 Melpomene will reach opposition, when it lies opposite to the Sun in the sky. The time around Jupiter’s perigee and opposition is the best opportunity to observe Jupiter, because it will be at its brightest with an apparent magnitude of -2.9. The Moon will be 20 days old or waning gibbous. It will be opposite to the Sun in the sky, reaching its highest point in the sky around midnight local time, regardless of where you are in the world. November 3: Jupiter at oppositionĪfter reaching perigee on November 1st, Jupiter will be at opposition on the 3rd. Credit: IAU and Sky & Telescope magazine (Roger Sinnott & Rick Fienberg). Jupiter will be at opposition on November 3. The Moon will be 18 days old or waning gibbous.Īt every perigee there is also an opposition at nearly the same time. It will pass as close as 3.98 AU of us and reach a maximum brightness of apparent magnitude -2.9. The perigee is the point in the orbit of Jupiter at which it is nearest to the Earth.
