Just moments after the above image was captured, Ganymede began to be eclipsed by Jupiter's shadow. A run of RGB exposures captured the eclipse in progress as seen below, where the RGB frames are each seen alongside simulations made with the planetarium application Sky Safari.
Below, two further images from later that evening (at 07:40 and 08:13 UT)
