Tonight a double shadow transit will be visible on Jupiter. Once it is dark the shadow of Europa is already in transit and will visible east of the Great Red Spot which is near Jupiter’s western limb. At 6:40 pm, the moon Ganymede will pop into view on the western limb of Jupiter as it completes a transit. By 7:25 pm, the shadow of Ganymede will become visible on the eastern limb as it starts to transit Jupiter. A telescope will be needed to see these events.
