you’re missing a real treat! Each night, the

moons appear in different positions around

the Jovian sky. This is sometimes called

the Galilean dance. On any given night, you

might be able to see the shadow of a moon

on the face of Jupiter, see one moon eclipse

another or even see a moon emerge from

behind Jupiter’s giant disk. Drawing the posi-

tions of the moons each night is an excellent

last count, Jupiter had over 60 moons, and

held a small lead over Saturn. Most of these

moons are very small and can only be seen

with very large telescopes.

Probably the most memorable sight you will

see in your telescope is Saturn. Although

you may not see many features on the

surface of Saturn, its ring structure will steal

your breath away. You will probably be able

to see a black opening in the rings, known as

Jupiter and looked back at it. It turns out,

only with the sunlight shining through them,

can the rings be seen. Uranus and Neptune

also have faint rings.

Optional color filters help bring out detail and

contrast of the planets. Meade offers a line

of inexpensive color filters.

One of the most fascinating sights of Jupiter

are its moons. The four largest moons are

called the Galilean moons, after the as-

tronomer Galileo, who observed them for

the first time. If you’ve never watched the

Galilean moons in your telescope before,
