Posted 6 February 2014 Jupiter and it’s 63 moons provide Earthbound observers with a constantly changing view through a telescope. Tonight, two of Jupiter’s largest moons, Callisto and Europa will cast their shadows on Jupiter’s cloud tops. If you have a reasonable sized amateur telescope and steady skies, you should be able to view the shadows on Jupiter’s disc.
If you are unfamiliar with the night sky, Jupiter is the brightest ‘star’ in the night sky at present. To locate it, just look low above the Northern horizon.
