Hi Neighbor!
Jupiter will be coming back into the morning sky in about a month!
Right now, both the sun and Jupiter are close together in the constellation Sagittarius. That means you cannot see Jupiter right now.
Over the next month, the sun will start to move away from Jupiter, allowing the giant planet to appear to creep back into the early morning sky. For about two months, it won't be easy. Sagittarius will stay very close to the horizon until March from New Jersey and other every other place in the north temperate zone.
In February, if you look less than an hour before the sun, you'll start to find Jupiter in the southeast in the rapidly brightening dawn. By March, it will become easier and easier to find as Jupiter ever so gradually eases into a darker sky. By April, you'll finally be able to see Jupiter against a dark sky about 1 1/2 hours before the sun.
Jupiter comes back into the evening skies in summer 2008. You'll see it then at its best on August and September evenings, the king of the skies!

NJ has a plantarium in Trenton on State Street.
Contact the Dept. of State or Travel and Tourism and I am sure they will help you out.

With all the air and light pollution, I'm amazed you can see the MOON in NJ.
