This video has been floating around for awhile and based on the same premise Jupiter completely obliterates the sky. I don't know which version is correct though, the video or this series of images. Just a point of comparison.

Edit in reply to the below, I was just about to add that same comment... that it may be a field of view thing. This additional video seems to support to that.

- adaml_623 13y agoFrom the notes in youtube: "I created this video in After Effects, and because of certain technical considerations had to keep the field of view at 62 degrees" I think you'll see that the choice of field of view makes all the difference. Something to ponder as well. The center of the Moon is 300000km away and Jupiter is 70000km in radius! So Jupiter would bridge almost one quarter of the distance towards us.

- blktiger 13y agoTrue, but is the distance he's using in these photos the distance from center to center or edge to edge. That also poses the question of what exactly is the edge...
