Description

This isn't the best image, because of the noise. But it's quite cool, because that black dot on Jupiter is actually the shadow of the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede. If you look very closely, you will be able to see the Great Red Spot below Ganymede's shadow, which is a storm on Jupiter, that's larger than the Earth. Now, only a bit less than half a month left until It's hopefully dark enough for some more deeper sky stuff.
