Description

Christmas night, 2012 - 95% waxing gibbous Moon with Jupiter and three of the Galilean moons visible. From lower left the moons are Callisto, Ganymede and Europa. Io is not visible as it was in the process of transiting Jupiter. Three frames were combined to account for differences in brightness and total field size.
