At its farthest, the gas giant lies 601 million miles (968 million km) away.JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-43711555604743093722016-07-05T21:57:23.661-07:002016-07-05T21:57:23.661-07:00Only 5 million miles from home?
