Finally no rain, clouds or Moon!
Jupiter is still in retrograde motion approacing Antares. It will not quite reach the Red Giant because next month it resumes it's normal Eastward motion.
It will be a long time before these planets grace the center of our galaxy again (12 years for Jupiter, 28 years for Saturn). We need to savour this apparition!
Saturn last appeared in the Summer MilkyWay in 1988. I remember it well! Where were you in 1988?
