I was watching a show about asteroids and I have a question about Jupiter and is it true that Jupiter can send asteroids in our direction? even if Jupiter is a reason that the asteroids remains far from us, thank you to understand that I am not a specialist as well as English but it interests me much everything which touches the universeIf you want to see the two brightest and most interesting planets Jupiter and Saturn right now, they are in the morning sky. If you have a clear eastern horizon, you can see them probably after midnight.
At 3:30AM, Jupiter is EXACTLY due south. To the East you can find paler, yellower, Saturn:
We just had a storm. I have a nice view from a park nearby or flat school yard and park on clear nights. I have seen Jupiter on those mornings. I used to look for the North star and then find something that was just as bright and large away from it and that was Jupiter. I guess I didn't know what and where to look for Saturn. That said, I'll have to wait at least ten days as the forecast is cloudy for the next ten days .
They don't move much. It takes Jupiter about 12 years to go around the sky and Saturn about 30. So they won't move much.
