Just one day before opposition, Jupiter will be around 367 million miles away from the Earth, the closest the two planets have been in 59 years, according to NASA. The last time that Jupiter was ...
The conjunction, which will be visible to the naked eye, is the closest that the two planets will come for viewers from Earth until 2039. At their closest point, Jupiter and Venus will be just ...
The ascending nodes of both planets are similar (100.6 degrees for Jupiter and 113.7 degrees for Saturn), meaning if Saturn is above or below Earth's orbital plane Jupiter usually is too. Because these nodes align so well it would be expected that no closest approach will ever be much worse than the difference between the two inclinations.

However, within one hour of closest approach to Jupiter it can take up to 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) pixel, thus exceeding the resolution of Cassini up to that time on Saturn. [1] In addition to visible light filters, it also has a near infrared filter to help detect clouds; a methane filter in addition the visible color filters.
