Io is occulted by Jupiter at 9:32 p.m. EDT (1:32 UT on 2005/06/11). Io emerges from eclipse by the shadow of Jupiter at 12:58 a.m. Saturday morning. The Moon is at apogee, subtending an angular size of 29'28" at a distance of 405,506 km (251,970 miles) at 2:00 a.m. The GRS transits Jupiter's central meridian at 2:18 a.m.
