Not even Chicago’s light pollution can dim the glow of Jupiter. On Saturday, the giant planet will shine its brightest of the year and will be visible all night as it travels the sky from sunset to sunrise. According to NASA, look for Jupiter to begin its rise in the east-northeast. Aside from the moon and Venus, it will be the brightest object in the sky. Saturday’s brilliant show is due to a phenomenon known as “opposition,” which means the sun and Jupiter are directly opposite each other, with Earth smack in between the two.
