Europa Eclipses the Sun as Seen from Ganymede
16 July 1997
According to Guide, this eclipse is total
over Ganymede's high northern latitudes, so in the
wide angle view I've placed the observer at
about the equivalent of Greenland's earthly latitude and chosen a
longitude that would put Jupiter near the meridian.
Here's another way to look at the geometry of this eclipse:
As seen from the Sun, Europa is the smaller snow-white moon passing
in front of larger Ganymede. For an observer standing in the high
northern latitudes of Ganymede -- behind the center of Europa -- the
Sun would be in total eclipse.
