The Moon is at perigee, subtending 32'48" from a distance of 364,242 kilometers, at 7:00 a.m. EDT (11:00 UT). A double Galilean satellite shadow transit (Europa's shadow is followed by Io's) occurs between 9:40 p.m. EDT (1:40 UT) and 10:45 p.m. EDT (2:45 UT). On Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturn's brightest satellite, eighth magnitude Titan, is three to four ring-lengths to the west of the planet.
