So, is Jupiter the bright star I’ve been seeing in the evening? (Obviously, I don’t have optics.)

Even with just a pair of binoculars you can see four moons. It’s very cool. You can see them lined up on their gravitational plane. They change sides as they rotate around the planet. So you might look and see:
O .. . .
Then you look at another time and see:

or

etc.

Most likely. Check it out with some binoculars. That’s all you need.

If you just get binocs then you will be able to see several moons of Jupiter. Very cool.
Brace the binocs against something.
