All four Galilean Satellites will appear to be bunched together near Jupiter during the evening of 2011 DEC 27. This will include transits and shadow transits by #2 Europa and #3 Ganymede, while #1 Io becomes eclipsed and occulted. During these events #4 Callisto will appear to pass south of Jupiter.

I’ve calculated a timetable and created a couple of preview graphics. They can be seen at www.CurtRenz.com/jupiter . Photos and descriptions of the events would be welcome additions to this thread.

Too bad Old Man Winter doesn't want to cooperate.

Let's hope he's less grumpy next week, Paulie. On the night of January 3-4 we’ll get something similar with the added bonus of two shadows simultaneously on Jupiter. I’ll initiate a new thread next week, but my timetable and preview graphics are already on my website: www.CurtRenz.com/jupiter
