Eclipse of Europa by Io, today 5th May 18:16 AEST
A quick heads-up for visual observers and imagers - in case you're not already aware (and there's not a thread elsewhere I've missed)... I read in Australian S&T that Io eclipses Europa this evening with both moons well away from the limb of Jupiter, well-placed for eastern Australia and New Zealand. And Sydney, at least, might well be clear for once!
All times from Australian S&T and in AEST (so add/subtract local time differences):
Umbral 1st contact 18:14:40
Mid-eclipse 18:16:12
Umbral last contact 18:17:40
Apparently the best event of its kind in this mutual event season, with a 1.3 mag dimming of Europa...
