Jupiter will be closer to Earth tonight than it has been in years — and you can see it with bare eyes
- Jupiter will be at its most visible on May 8.
- The planet will be in opposition to the sun, which means it'll be on the exact opposite side of Earth to the sun.
- Your best chance of getting a glimpse will be around 1:00 a.m. on May 8th when the gas giant is due south.
