When it comes out of the shadow a faint spot of light will appear and gradually brighten. Occultations occur when a satellite moves behind Jupiter as seen from the Earth. Hence during an occultation the satellite is hidden by the planet. Transits occur when a satellite moves across the face of Jupiter as seen from the Earth. Shadow transits occur when the shadow of the satellite cast by the Sun moves across the face of the planet Occultations always start at the western limb of Jupiter and end at the east.
Transits always start at the eastern limb of the planet and end at the west.
In general eclipse events take place when the satellite is a small distance away from Jupiter as seen from the Earth. After opposition, as in April, they occur to the east of the planet. All these events can be observed through a small telescope. Note that when Jupiter is viewed through an undriven telescope its image will drift to the west. This enables the west side of the planet to be determined.
