The vibrant planet will first appear in the east after sunset and will glide across the southern sky before setting in the west around daybreak. No telescope is needed to see Jupiter as it will outshine nearly every other celestial object in the night sky, but having a telescope or a pair of binoculars will reveal the colorful bands of clouds on the planet as well as its largest moons.

Jupiter will not appear this bright again until December of 2024.The weekend before Thanksgiving will host November's top meteor shower as the Leonids peak.
