Both Earth & Jupiter (as do all planets) have oval orbits around the Sun. Every now and then, Earth is farthest from the Sun while passing Jupiter when it’s closest to the Sun. That’s what’s going on next week, accounting for Jupiter’s extra brightness in the night sky. — PolitiTweet.org

Sept 23, 2022 This coming week, Earth passes closer to Jupiter than in six decades. Rising at sunset & setting at sunrise, look for it overnight — the brightest "star" in the sky. Jupiter, at its closest, exerts a force of gravity on Earth 5x higher than when at its farthest — PolitiTweet.org

While everybody is arguing & fighting over all manner of terrestrial issues, @NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirect Mission (DART) slams a space probe into an asteroid’s moonlet today. Consider it practice, deflecting killer asteroids that might head our way. https://t.co/kfuyZZI76v — PolitiTweet.org
