Exclamation A busy Jupiter tonight!

Tonight (27th July) is a very busy night on Jupiter with 3 events worth observing and imaging.

(all times AEST)

1. The Wesley Impact Scar will be visible between about 10pm and midnight. It transits the CM at about 10:40pm.

2. Also tonight, at 11:24pm (lasting for about 8 minutes), Io's shadow eclipses Europa.

3. Then later, at 12:14am (lasting for about 8 minutes), Io occults (passes in front of) Europa.

A very busy night worth staying up for. Good luck for steady seeing at your place!
