What star or planet appears near the moon in the southern sky in September 2009?
In September 2009, the star or planet that appeared near the moon in the southern sky would likely have been the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is often visible to the naked eye and appears as a bright object near the moon in the night sky.
How many star does Jupiter have surronding it?
Jupiter has 63 moons and it is the biggest planet not including the sun
What are the two largest stars next to the moon?
The two brightest stars near the Moon are usually the planets Venus and Jupiter. Venus is often referred to as the "evening star" when it is visible after sunset, and Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.
Is Jupiter the North Star?
Oh, how wonderful of you to ask about the stars in the sky! Jupiter isn't actually the North Star. The North Star is called Polaris, and it's a special star that's used to help people navigate and find direction at night. Jupiter is a planet that you can often see shining bright in the sky, though, so look out for its twinkling beauty next time you're stargazing.
Why is Jupiter sometimes referred to as a Failed star?
Good question. It is unlikely, though, as there simply is not enough matter in Saturn to have enough gravitational pull to produce enough heat at the centre to induce thermonuclear reactions to form a star - even a small one. Even Jupiter, which is much more massive, is nowhere near massive enough. This idea has been talked about for years. Arthur C Clarke, probably the greatest science fiction writer (well, one of the greatest with Isaac Asimov) and visionary of the 20th century suggested that very thing in 2011 - the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the sequel, the alien monolith appears in Jupiter's Giant Red Spot and causes Jupiter to ignite into a star, thus becoming 'Lucifer' the source of energy which helps thaw Europa's oceans (one of Jupiter's moons) and create a spurt in the evolution of life there. Sadly, however, this is all fiction. Even where planets much larger than Jupiter have been discovered in orbit round other stars, these too have been simply too small to become suns in their own right. So to call Saturn a 'failed' star implies that it could have possiblybecome a star but somehow failed to achiieve this. In the same way, I have 'failed' to become a mother. But as I am male, then I could not possibly have 'failed' in this task (I am a father though - twice over!). So, as Saturn could never be a star to begin with, in that sense, it could not have failed.
Which star is near Jupiter?
The Sun is by far the nearest star to Jupiter.
Is Jupiter close to the north star?
The North Star is around 430 light years from Earth. Earth to Jupiter distance varies as the planets orbits The Sun. At their closest they are 628,743,036 million kilometres apart. At their most distant they are 928,081,020 million kilometres apart.
After November 6th What will be the next noticeable planet in the sky?
Right (November 2009) you can see Jupiter, as a bright planet (looks like a star). At sunset, Jupiter is near the meridian, i.e., near its highest point. If you have a clear sky, just look out for the brightest star you can see.
Is there a star in Jupiter?
No. Jupiter is a planet, so it does not have a star inside it.
When did Jupiter became a star?
Jupiter is a planet. It has never been a star and never will be a star.

What planet is in between the star algol and aldebaran?
Jupiter is the only bright planet near Aldebaran just now (Feb. 2013).
Is Jupiter becoming a star?
No, and it never will. It is a failed star.
Is Jupiter the star of Bethlehem?
No.
Could Jupiter ignite and become a star?
No, Jupiter cannot ignite and become a star. It does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion like a star.
Jupiter might someday be a star?
No. Jupiter does not have nearly enough mass.
