Observers in the U.S. won't see the eclipse — the moon doesn't rise in New York City until 8:29 p.m. local time, according to timeanddate.com. Moonrise times are similar as one moves south; in Miami, it rises at 8:17 p.m. local time. Farther west, the eclipse happens well before moonrise as well. (If you can't see the eclipse in person, check back with Space.com on the day of the eclipse for live webcasts.)
But if you haven't noticed Jupiter before, it is and has been very bright in the southern night sky, visible after sunset and setting around 3 a.m. And will be a spectacle for a few months.
(Jupiter is magnitude -2.5 which is brighter than the brightest star in the sky, Sirius (not visible this time of the year) ). Magnitudes and brightnesses refer to as-viewed from earth.
Jupiter is a little bit east of Antares -- which looks like a rapidly blinking red star (it is a humongously huge super red giant far far away -- 550 light years .... another source says 620 light years ). In comparison, the closest star, Alpha Centauri, is a mere 4.4 light years away.
Saturn is to the east of Jupiter also in the southern sky -- rising in the southeast at sunset, and shining all night. Tonight, it will be VERY close to the virtually full moon. (Looks like I won't see that -- it is overcast here in Minneapolis).
