    It is real. The picture was taken by Bill Dunford, a writer and social media specialist for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
    As Dunford explained to people fascinated by the picture, he took the shot in Brighton, Utah, on July 7, 2020, with two seconds of exposure and a zoom lens, noting, "You can see Jupiter's moons like this yourself with a pair of binoculars! (Keep in mind the moons move & might not be in these same positions when you look.)"
    Dunford said on Twitter that he had taken a similar photograph in 2019, near Salt Lake City, which was posted to NASA's website.
    Jupiter is the solar system's largest planet and has dozens of moons, although the ones visible in Dunford's picture are its largest.

    Tony Bendele Photography is in Sunbury, PA, United States.
    Jupiter and its moons above Sunbury, Pennsylvania just after 7pm tonight (March 5th, 2023 at 711pm).
    I tried using my Canon tonight instead of the Sony. Neither are that great when it comes to using a 600mm lens at night haha.
    This is the best I'm going to get without buying a telescope. I really need to fund one and get one by spring/summer.
