the largest planet in the solar system

The Moon takes aim at Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, tonight. They are well up in the south at nightfall and set in late evening. Jupiter is to the upper left of the Moon and looks like a dazzling star. If you have a pair of binoculars, take a look at Jupiter and you can see up to four of it's giant moons. They look like small stars around it.
