Jupiter will be about 180 million miles further away from where it would appear its brightest to us.It's still fairly bright at magnitude -1.5 and easy to see from no matter where one is, including light-polluted big cities. Venus is a good deal brighter at -3.8 (the larger the negative value, the brighter an object is).

Agree completely. Like you, just stating a fact. Jupiter is close to its farthest from earth. If it was furthest it might be completely blocked out by the sun. And yes it is still a very bright object.
