Visibility of Jupiter in 1999:

Satellites of Jupiter: Orbital, physical and photometric data.

Jupiter can be seen at the beginning of the year in the evening sky in Aquarius, moving into Pisces during the second half of January and into Cetus for a few days from mid-March after which it becomes too close to the Sun for observation. It reappears in the morning sky from mid-April in Pisces and moves into Aries in early July. Its westward elongation gradually increases and from late July it can be seen for more than half the night. It is at opposition on October 23 when it is visible throughout the night. Its eastward elongation gradually decreases and after mid-October it passes into Pisces, in which constellation it remains for the rest of the year. Jupiter is in conjunction with Venus on February 23, 21.2^h (visible distance is 0^o 09'N).
