A dual shadow transit across Jupiter will occur during the night of January 3-4. First the Galilean satellites #3 Ganymede and #2 Europa will separately transit Jupiter, followed by their shadows which for a while will appear simultaneously on Jupiter. During this time #1 Io will become occulted and then eclipsed by Jupiter.
I’ve calculated an event timetable and created two related preview graphics. They can be seen on my Jupiter webpage: www.CurtRenz.com/jupiter
Recently I’ve added numerous graphs of 2012 data on all of my webpages for planets. Of course, photos and descriptions of the upcoming dual shadow transit would be welcome additions to this thread.
