Anyone ever tell Jupiter that he has a fat ass?

Sorry, but I have to… It’s not transiting the building, it’s being occulted by the building.

Excuse my ignorance on the topic but is what we’re seeing there from a “long time ago” because of how long it takes light to get to us?

I hope you all understand that you can make the same thing happen every single night that Jupiter is up just by positioning your telescope in the right place.
Still, it is always cool to see the Galilean Moons. A good set of binoculars will show them too.

Is this something celebrated there? Jupiter passing that building? Or was the light show for something else?

I once watched Jupiter through a similar telescope near a tall radio tower. As it passed behind the tower, it happened to pass directly behind one of the bulbs of the blinking red lights and we could see the filament as Jupiter passed behind it.

Yeah, not remotely reasonable light-pollution wise, eh?

Fuck the Burj Khalifa, now Jupiter and all its moons that’s stellar. The moons have the coolest names Europa, Io, Ganymede…

They built a skyscraper so big it makes Jupiter look like a pingpong ball 😱

This dudes enthusiasm for the sky is certainly contagious.
On another note, I can only imagine what the sky looked like when there was zero light pollution. Must have been an incredible sight to see.

So a dude put an object between his telescope and something cool in the sky?

Sorry for an ignorant question, is it like a rare phenomenon?

He said jupiters diameter is 11x the diameter of the earth??? That’s a huge undercalculation right??

So great.
Meh.
One of the most beautiful objects ever known to man, and then there’s a monument to greed and slavery right in front of it. Awesome.
Or it’s an alien space ship disguised as Jupiter, I mean fool me once aliens shame on me but to quote The Who “I won’t get fooled again”
Holy shit this is incredible!
I was able to capture Jupiter and Venus in 1 picture, almost 3 years ago

Light show definitely made it cooler
