Downloads from the Juno Satellite orbiting Jupiter
The images show a shadow transit of the innermost moon Io across the cloud tops of the planet Jupiter. IA shadow transit of Io doesn't happen everyday but it is far from a rare event. What is special is that Juno was in the right location to photograph the event.
Our sponsors Anita and George witnessed and imaged a shadow transit of Io and Ganymede back in 2014. They witnessed and imaged it from a distance of 588 million km whereas Juno imaged it from 8,000 km".
