Telescope Hubble: Triple Eclipse on Jupiter Captured (VIDEO)
The Hubble telescope has captured a rare and beautiful spectacle at the planet Jupiter.
As you can see on the image and video below, three big moons crossed past it at the same time, casting their shadows onto Jupiter’s swirling surface. Europa, Callisto, and Io, three of Jupiter’s four largest moons, can commonly be seen transiting the face of the giant planet and casting shadows onto its cloud tops.
From the perspective of people theoretically standing on Jupiter, it would be like three solar eclipses happening at once, astronomers said.
