As I am typing this, on August the 11th 2009, it is possible to see Jupiter at night. From the northern hemisphere, it looks like a very bright star towards the south east. It is much brighter than anything else apart from the moon. It will be possible to see it every clear night for many months to come, right throughout the winter. There are lots of websites that will tell you where to look for it and what other things you can see in the night sky. One of those is given below.

∙ 15y agoJupiter is currently hiding behind the Sun, and won't be visible for three or four months. After April, Jupiter will become a morning star, rising before dawn. It will be several months before Jupiter makes it around to the evening sky again.
There are several web sites that offer tips on what's available in the sky to view. http://currentsky.com/ is one of the better ones.

Why does the brightness of Jupiter apper to change over time?
That's mainly because the distance from Jupiter to Earth changes over time. If we assume, for simplicity, that Jupiter's orbit is circular, and that the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5 AU, then, when Jupiter is in opposition (opposite to the Sun, from our point of view), it is at a distance of 4 AU (5 minus 1); when it is in conjunction (behind the Sun, from our point of view), it's at a distance of 6 AU (5 plus 1).

From my calculations the distance from Saturn to Jupiter is nearly the same distance it is from Earth to Jupiter. Give or take 50 million miles or so the view of Jupiter from Saturn would be about the same as our view here is on Earth. Good question!!

Does Jupiter flash different colours of a night?
No, not normally. In a powerful telescope, Jupiter's rotation brings different cloud patterns into view over the course of a night, but even these are mostly gray and dark grey. The colors you see in photos of Jupiter are from time-lapse photography, necessary to being the color out.
