Jupiter is 0.4 degree north of the Moon at 7:00 UT this morning. (An occultation occurs in southeast Asia and parts of the south Pacific.) The Moon is near the first magnitude star Spica tonight. The Great Red Spot transits Jupiter's central meridian at 1:19 UT (9:19 p.m. EDT). A double Galilean shadow transit (Io's shadow is followed by Europa's) begins at 7:57 UT on Friday morning.
