Jumpin' Jupiter!

For our activity tonight, we went to Balboa Park to look at the stars.  Every first Wednesday (barring cloud cover), the San Diego Astronomy Association sets up several telescopes by the Fleet Center.  This activity coincided perfectly with this month's topic, The Plan of Salvation.

Andromeda Galaxy was just visible.  

We saw Jupiter, Io, Callista and Ganymede.  Jupiter is only visible  for a short time every twelve years.
