3 Callisto Eclipses

Here’s eclipse chasing on Jupiter. The video is of a callisto shadow transit on Jupiter 23rd July 2009 as see from a balloon floating in Jupiter’s atmsophere (One for Branson to sell).
The first eclipse is in progress at sunrise and the third is in progress at sunset! The sky rotation at midday is due to the sun passing near the zenith. The whole thing – speeded up – lasts about 4 minutes (or a whole day on J) and to stop them sueing, it was made with Starry Night Pro.
