Russian cosmonaut Ivan Wagner shared a photograph of the planet Jupiter, which entered opposition with Earth on December 7 and approached the globe as closely as possible.
According to him, December 7 was the best time to observe Jupiter. It was on this day that the gas giant was close to Earth, and many inhabitants of the planet could see it in the constellation Taurus.
There is no telescope on the International Space Station to observe the planet. It is also difficult to use it here, because the station revolves around the planet quickly and celestial bodies move faster. But there are cameras. In the picture, Jupiter can be seen exactly as it is visible to the naked eye.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a simulator will be built at the Cosmonaut Training Center to simulate the unmanned flight of a spacecraft.
