Re: Dance of the worlds and their shadows

Hi Marcia,
Europa did partly occult Io, several hours earlier. That's the easy part for the CD Rom.
But Europa's shadow on Io was also what happened; however, the CD Rom couldn't show shadow on Io (it could have been so brief and I chose a different timing or the program doesn't include such details; I don't know). Knowing that Io orbits very quickly around Jupiter, but so does Europa, I wonder how long the totality was visible on Io.
