About this image

The weather forecast for Monday's closest approach is poor here so this is probably the closest I'm likely to see it.

Zooming in shows a couple of Jupiter's satellites, probably Callisto and Ganymede.

Hi David

The weather for Sheffield for Monday isn't good either but you never know, so I will be ready with my camera for that (all being well) brief period of clearness, here's hoping!
