![]() Jupiter is in eastern Taurus, and begins a few days of nice pairings with the crescent Moon as the Moon ascends the evening sky. Jupiter is at magnitude -2.02 on this evening. Compare its appearance to that of Sirius, the brightest star at magnitude -1.46. The two pictures were taken with the same camera settings and only a few seconds apart.
