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. - Clear Skies, Kurt
