Oh Galileo, Galileo, Figaro Magnifico – Jupiter in June!

A night in the Everglades is the best way to enjoy the biggest show of all.

The universe in the night sky above!

Have you noticed that bright light high in the SE sky after sunset?

It’s our own planet Jupiter!

“Jupiter in June”
Jupiter in early June of 2018 with it’s Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Galileo, Galileo,

Galileo, Galileo

Galileo Figaro – Magnifico o o ooh ooooh

.

The Galilean moons were the first ever objects found to orbit another world by Galileo Galilei in the spring of 1610!

They were named after the lovers of the Greek God Zeus, by German astronomer Simon Marius  at the suggestion of Johannes Kepler. Marius independently sighted these worlds in the same time frame as Galileo.

Improvements in telescope optics and design made by Galileo enabled a magnification factor of 20x which incidentally is the same as my photography setup with a 1000mm reflex lens (20 x 50mm standard view)!
