Nicely done Reggie.

It must be an illusion with a bright spot in the SEB to the left of Io's shadow, making it look like Io following the shadow as it was prior to opposition.

Thanks, Geof. It actually was Io; left-right orientation was flipped.

Ah yes, I can see now that the GRS wake is in front of the GRS....
