An image of a vortex in Jupiter's clouds from the Juno spacecraft. And looking from back here at Earth, Jupiter was at opposition this week, meaning directly opposite the Sun in our sky, a great time for viewing and photography. This means that the Earth and Jupiter were at their closest for the year, making Jupiter appear brighter and larger, and in the sky all night long. (Although Jupiter is a good view at other times anyway - it's a huge planet and colourful).

The night sky for early June as seen from Toowoomba (copyright Dominic Ford, in-the-sky.org). The yellow line is the ecliptic, which is the path of the Sun across the sky. This is also the general path of the planets and the Moon, since these all orbit in nearly the same plane. (Saturn's label has got lost somewhere - it is the pink dot near Pluto.)
