Jupiter and Moons 20th May 2015

[Davide Simonetti]

This shot was taken in Regents Park, London at 22:07 and shows the Jupiter with its four Galilean moons: Ganymede to the right of Jupiter, Callisto on the immediate left of Jupiter, Io a little further to the left, and Europa on the far left. The shadow of Ganymede can be seen on the left side of the planet as it begins its transit. Jupiter is getting further and further away from us at this time of year but it is still showing a surprising amount of detail.

moon on the planet. Good Picture.

Lovely detail. Had a good look at Jupiter the last few nights when clouds allowed. Soon it will be out of view from my observing site

An image like that with the (presumably) high level of lp in that area is certainly impressive.
