Jupiter: It's Europa's turn for a shadow transit tonight

[Steve Gottlieb]

For those who have been following some of these transit events the past week on Jupiter ...

Calisto (Fri night)
Io (Mon night)
Ganymede (Tue night)
Europa (Wed night)

Tonight, Europa’s shadow transit begins around 11:15 PM, although it is preceded by the start of Europa’s transit. The black shadow and Europa itself should be fairly easy to pick out around 11:30 if the seeing is decent.

Enjoying these back to back transits! Thank you Steve.

Mak, ICE filter and Binotron improving  good seeing.

The shadow just coming around and fully visible now is it true there is a total solar eclipse happing there?
