In a single exposure made just after sunset, the Solar System&#8217;s ruling gas giant is at the upper right in this telephoto field-of-view from Cancun, Mexico. The snapshot also captures our fair planet&#8217;s own natural satellite in its young crescent phase. The Moon&#8217;s disk looms large, its familiar face illuminated mostly by earthshine. But the four points of light lined-up with Jupiter are Jupiter&#8217;s own large Galilean moons. Top to bottom are Ganymede, [Jupiter], Io, Europa, and Callisto. Ganymede, Io, and Callisto are physically larger than Earth&#8217;s Moon while water world Europa is only slightly smaller. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap220204.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though Jupiter was the only planet visible in the evening sky on February 2, it shared the twilight above the western horizon with the Solar System&#8217;s brightest moons.
