Folks with telescopes might want to haul them out and look at Jupiter this month. I've just spent an hour or two observing it thru my little Orion 4.5 inch Dobsonian reflector and had some of the most incredible views I've ever seen of it. The atmosphere over Avondale was steady enough that I could use maximum magnification which is very rare and I was able to see five cloud bands clearly. The two equatorial belts of course were well defined but so were two more fainter bands in one hemisphere and another in the other one. Watching that along with the four Gallilean moons strung out like a line of pearls, three on one side, one on the other was fantastic. I think I'm going to try and observe it regularly this month and see if I can note any significant changes.
