Video caption: First place in the 2021 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Galilean moons.

This time-lapse of Jupiter taken in 2017 from Germany beautifully illustrates the transit of one of the Galilean moons, Io, in front of Jupiter. As this is simply a moon casting a shadow on a planet it is equivalent to a lunar eclipse on Earth observed from further away. While the shadow of the moon is clearly visible from the beginning, it might be difficult to spot the moon itself against the background of the beautiful atmospheric bands of Jupiter the first time the video is seen. Watching it repeatedly allows appreciating the rapid motion and rotation in this fantastic observation.

Video caption: Primo posto al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2021, categoria Lune Galileiane.

Questo time-lapse di Giove ripreso nel 2017 dalla Germania illustra splendidamente il transito di una delle lune galileiane, Io, davanti a Giove. Trattandosi semplicemente di una luna che proietta un'ombra su un pianeta, è equivalente a un'eclissi lunare sulla Terra osservata da più lontano. Mentre l'ombra della luna è chiaramente visibile fin dall'inizio, potrebbe essere difficile individuare la luna stessa sullo sfondo delle bellissime bande atmosferiche di Giove la prima volta che si guarda il video. Guardarlo ripetutamente permette di apprezzare il rapido movimento e la rotazione in questa fantastica osservazione.

这幅木星的延时摄影是于2017 年从德国拍摄的,作品精美地展示了伽利略卫星之一木卫一在木星前的凌星现象。由于这只是卫星在行星上投下影子,因此相当于从更远的地方观测地球上的月食。虽然卫星的影子从一开始就清晰可见,但在木星美丽的大气带背景下,第一次观看视频时可能很难发现卫星本身。反复观看可以欣赏到这一奇妙的快速运动和旋转过程。
