There are further events with Jupiter and its Moons tonight.
Shortly after 10.20pm, Europa will reappear after it occultation and then will disappear into shadow 5 minutes later. I observed this last week and it was per Steve's excellent description.
One bonus last week was earlier in the evening, there was the sight of Jupiter looking like it had pearl earrings! Io was had just reappeared from transit and Ganymede was about to commence transit. So the disc of Jupiter was flanked with by moons being extremely close to the disc on both sides. Indeed, it was an interesting spectacle.
I will also attempt to look at around 7.50 when Europa is about to be occulted and Io's shadow may be visible on the limb of Jupiter.
