I was out about a half hour ago to look at Jupiter and it's moons, and I saw 2
of the shadows. I didn't see 3. Thats neat to be able to see the shadows of
Europa and Ganymede, thats something you don't see very often. Thanks for
letting us know Tom.

It's about 8 p.m. on Wednesday, and there are two moons and their shadows
currently transiting Jupiter. Ganymede and Europa are very close to each other
at the central meridian, followed by Europa's shadow and Ganymede's shadow,
which is just entering the eastern limb.
We will be able to follow the moon transits until 10 p.m., and Ganymede's
shadow will be on the disc until 11:30 p.m.
