I read this is it's closest approach to Earth since 1963. Even from salt lake valley, with binoculars, I can make out several moons and the equatorial glow of it's rings. Very cool!

Eastern sky. Might be behind a mountain if you’re too close to one.

Very bright in the east, about 35-40 degrees above the horizon

Tough because binoculars are shaky but I definitely see two, likely three

Just had my neighbor bring out his telescope and turned our cul-de-sac into
