Jupiter is now visible in the eastern sky right. On the East Coast it is currently about the height of a 2-story home. They say you can view 4 of its moons with strong binoculars or a telescope.

It's the closest it's been in 59 years tonight.
Excellent. Had a good view the other night. Didn't realize it was closest.
Yeah, a few weeks ago I looked up and I was like “is that Venus?”. That didn’t make sense as I knew that Venus is closer to the Sun and bright Venus is usually visible near the Sun at sunrise or near the Sun after sunset. I usually can find Jupiter pretty easily as well as it is bright, but not Venus bright. So, I looked it up and low and behold it is brighter than normal because it is closer.
