Jupiter - 18-11-22 - Triple moon delight and GRS

[Simon128D]

I happened to notice that on the evening of Friday the 18th, Jupiters moons Io and Europa will travel behind the planet disk in the space of a few hours, while Callisto will kiss the northern hemisphere very closesly. It should be quite the show.  

The view at 17:30 will be like so 

 

First to go is Io at 18:50ish

 

Then  Europa at 20:05ish

 

Callisto's closest approach to the north disk will be about 23:05, upon which the GRS will also delight us with its precense. 

 

Should be quite the show and also imaging opportunity. For the moment forecast to Friday is looking favourable for me but those of you in the mainland will get better seeing as the jet stream is expect to hold back from you until past midnight.
