This is how the Jupiter and Moon looks tonight from North America. A waxing gibbous moon, 78-percent illuminated, is passing within less than a degree to the south of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. What’s interesting is that this is the closest Moon-Jupiter conjunction until the year 2026!
