Good thing Siegfried doesn't play here anymore. If he was here we'd have to hear about the time he and me and a few others used the U's Clark (currently in Sieg's possession) to watch just such an event... <grin> patrick On 28 May 2009, at 15:05, Canopus56 wrote:
Example two Galilean satellites eclipsing each other on Spaceweather.com by Mike Salway (ultra-cool animated gif) http://spaceweather.com/swpod2009/28may09/Mike-Salway1.gif
Because of Jupiter's position relative to the equniox this year, it will be possible to image eclipses of two Galilean satellites crossing each other. Background info and an empheris generator can be found at:
IY2009 Info Page on mutual phenomena of Galilean satellites http://www.imcce.fr/hosted_sites/ama09/phemu09_en.html
Ephemeris generator for mutual events http://www.imcce.fr/page.php?nav=en/observateur/campagnes_obs/phemu09/prog_i...
I have not plumed the ephemeris program to determine possible events applicable to Salt Lake City.
