On the evening of April 7-8, 2017, the gas giant will be at opposition with Earth and appear very bright in the night sky. It’s alright if you have cloudy skies because the Jupiter show continues all month (it will only be 3 percent less bright by the end of the month). [Best Telescopes for the Money]
