Europa began to emerge from the preceding limb just as Io emerged from Jupiter&#8217;s shadow. At first, Io looked like a faint star, but it gradually brightened as it became fully lit. Ganymede was visible just south-preceding Europa&#8217;s shadow in the equatorial zone. Ganymede&#8217;s shadow was stark and nearly centered when I got my first look. By the end of the observation, Ganymede itself was exiting, leaving the three moons still bound closely to Jupiter.<\/p>\n<p>A strong, dark spot was visible in the south temperate zone and I noticed two light notches in the south polar region. The whole scene was stunning. Even Harrison was impressed by Ganymede&#8217;s strong shadow. Tom Polakis prepared an excellent image of the view at the same time I was making the observation.
