Jupiter with Io's Shadow

Description

Jupiter is great color with the Great Red spot presiding over Io's shadow below it.



Shadow transits occur when one of Jupiter's moons casts its shadow onto the planet itself. Although these happen daily, they are still difficult to time.



RGB filters helped bring out exquisite detail in Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere before opposition in July 2020.
