Jupiter moon config

[KJ Dalley]

Hopefully everyone will be enjoying some long awaited clear sky!

Tonight at 2045h I happened to swing a look at Jupiter and saw a lovely configuration of two moons on either side with Jupiter centred between then. It was the first time I've ever seen this arrangement and wondered if it had a special astronomical name?

Hiya, Im not sure if it has a special name, why dont you give it one ?

I was looking earlier from about 7pm and there were 2 moons either side horizontally and later they were in the same order but positioned vertically as I think you saw.

It truly is a great sight.
