      Explanation: At opposition, opposite the Sun in Earth's sky, late last   
      month Jupiter is also approaching perihelion, the closest point to the   
      Sun in its elliptical orbit, early next year. That makes Jupiter   
      exceptionally close to our fair planet, currently resulting in   
      excellent views of the Solar System's ruling gas giant. On September   
      27, this sharp image of Jupiter was recorded with a small telescope   
      from a backyard in Florence, Arizona. The stacked video frames reveal   
      the massive world bounded by planet girdling winds. Dark belts and   
      light zones span the gas giant, along with rotating oval storms and its   
      signature Great Red Spot. Galilean moon Ganymede is below and right in   
      the frame. The Solar System's largest moon and its shadow are in   
      transit across the southern Jovian cloud tops.
