Jupiter will soon end its brilliant year-long showing on consecutive evenings with a rendezvous with an exceedingly thin and very young crescent moon.
Indeed, for the first opportunity on Tuesday, May 27, the moon itself will appear so thin and low that it may be rather hard to detect in the sun's afterglow; and seeing Jupiter itself will not be an easy task either, appearing to sit about 10 degrees to the upper left of the slender lunar sliver.
