On March 20, 2025, at 9:00 PM PDT in Torrance, California, Jupiter was prominently visible in the southwestern sky, situated in the constellation Taurus. The planet’s four largest moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—were observable through a Celestron C11 f/10 telescope.
🌙 Moon Phase and Sky Conditions
At that time, the Moon was in a waning gibbous phase, approximately 72% illuminated. It rose after sunset and was visible in the eastern sky, providing moderate illumination that could slightly affect deep-sky observations but still allowed for clear views of bright objects like Jupiter and its moons.

🔭 Observing Jupiter and Its Moons
The Galilean moons orbit Jupiter in a relatively straight line along its equatorial plane. Their positions change noticeably over the course of a few hours due to their rapid orbits. On this particular evening, their arrangement would have been as follows (from west to east):
*Note: The exact positions can vary based on the time and the observer’s location. For precise real-time positions, you can use tools like TheSkyLive’s Galilean Moons Tracker.
🔭 Tips for Observing
Telescope Orientation: Depending on your telescope’s optics, the view might be inverted or mirrored. For instance, Newtonian reflectors invert the image vertically, while refractors with a diagonal may mirror it horizontally.
Optimal Viewing: To minimize the Moon’s glare, try observing Jupiter when it’s higher in the sky and the Moon is lower on the horizon.
Recording Observations: Sketching the positions of the moons at different times can be a fun way to track their orbits and understand their motion around Jupiter.
1982年，石黑昇與河森正治攜手推出的《超時空要塞》（The Super Dimension Fortress Macross）誕生，這部動畫初看之下是一部典型的機器人動畫，但實則蘊藏著跨越文化疆界、探討人類情感與文明衝突的深層主題。它結合了可變形戰鬥機（Valkyrie）、人類與外星人的衝突、偶像文化的興起以及三角戀愛的糾葛，在日本動畫史上寫下了劃時代的一頁。
In 1982, Noboru Ishiguro and Shoji Kawamori introduced “The Super Dimension Fortress Macross,” a groundbreaking anime that at first glance seemed like a typical mecha series. However, it explored deep themes of cross-cultural conflict, human emotion, and the power of music. Combining transformable mecha (Valkyrie), interstellar warfare, idol culture, and a love triangle, Macross made a defining mark in anime history.
Set in the year 2009, a mysterious alien battleship named “Macross” crashes onto Earth. Humanity reverse-engineers its technology and develops the highly maneuverable VF-1 Valkyrie. Soon, the alien race Zentradi invades, sparking interstellar war. During the conflict, three protagonists—civilian pilot Hikaru Ichijo, officer Misa Hayase, and idol singer Lynn Minmay—find themselves in a tangled web of emotion and growth. Ultimately, Minmay’s songs awaken the emotions of the Zentradi and shift the course of the war.
