Eclipse on Jupiter

NASA’s Juno probe caught an amazing picture of a solar eclipse on Jupiter. You can imagine how huge an area the Jovian moon Io is covering, yet the path of totality would be tiny in relation to Jupiter itself. Io is the fourth-largest moon in the solar system, and revolves 350,000 kilometers (217,000 miles) from Jupiter’s cloud tops. -via Boing Boing
