Qatar Calendar House has tweeted that on Monday evening, the planet Jupiter will reach its closest point to Earth, where it will be at a distance of approximately 600 million km from Earth. Jupiter will appear brighter and larger and can be seen with the naked eye towards the eastern horizon of the sky of Qatar.
مساء اليوم الاثنين سيصل كوكب #المشتري لأقرب نقطة من الأرض، حيث سيكون على مسافة 600 مليون كم من الأرض تقريبًا، ولذا سيبدو المشتري أكثر لمعانا وأكبر حجمًا، ويمكن رؤيته بالعين المجردة باتجاه الأفق الشرقي لسماء دولة #قطر من بعد غروب شمس اليوم وحتى شروق شمس الغد pic.twitter.com/lX29KLYMXk
