On the evening/morning of March 29/30 there will be a striking eclipse opportunity on Jupiter. From about 0100UT til 0500UT on 3/30 Io and Europa will be crossing Jupiter's face, followed by their shadows. Europa and Io will be right next to each other, almost passing each other during the event. To make the event even more striking, the GRS will be transiting at about the same time!! This follows by about a day and half the rare triple eclipse on Jupiter.

Clear skies and great seeing!!
