Galilean Satellites:Mutual Phenomena

Scientific paper

The mutual phenomena of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter take place every six years, when the Earth and the Sun cross the equatorial plane of Jupiter which coincides with the orbital planes of the satellites. At that time, mutual occultations and eclipses may occur. However, the only favourable situation for observing such phenomena is when the crossing of the equatorial plane occurs simultaneously with the opposition of Jupiter. These phenomena are often observable only once every twelve years. In 1985, during the latest opposition of Jupiter, its declination was between -19 and -15 degrees, which made La Silla one of the best places to observe them.
