   JUPITER AT ITS BEST: Tonight, Sept. 20-21, Earth and Jupiter converge for   
   their closest encounter in decades. The giant planet will soar across the sky   
   at midnight, outshining everything except the Moon itself.  Although big,   
   bright Jupiter will remain close to Earth for weeks to come, tonight is the   
   closest of all.  Check http://spaceweather.com for images and more information.
