The second of two shadow transits is underway right now. Earlier tonight Europa and its shadow crossed the face of Jupiter. Now it's Io's turn. So take up thy telescope and behold!

Earlier tonignt I watched Europa disappearing around one side of Jupiter while at the same time Io was appearing on the opposite side. They both appeared to be touching their side of the planet at the same time. First time I've seen that. Awhile later I went back to Jupiter and watched Io's shadow transit for a few minutes. I quit at 11 central time.
