Watch Jupiter's Last Marvelous Moon Dance Friday

Jupiter teams up with the crescent moon in the evening twilight on Aug. 5, and the encounter will make for an eye-catching show. It's likely your last chance to see Jupiter and the moon in the evening sky this year, so you won't want to miss this! On Friday evening, the planet will rendezvous with a slender crescent moon — a moon so thin that, initially, it may be rather hard to detect in the sun's afterglow.
