Details:
A lunar occultation of Jupiter was visible from Malaysia on November 3, 2026 before sunrise, Malaysian time. During this lunar occultation of Jupiter, two Galilean moons were supposed to be visible. At the ingress phase (top row), Io can be seen trailing to the west of Jupiter, while Europa was transiting across the surface of Jupiter, but couldn't be seen due to the limitation of the resolution, poor seeing condition and low contrast against the Jovian disk. At the egress phase (bottom row), the trailing Io was still blocked by the Moon, while Europa could be seen exiting the eastern limb of Jupiter, thanks to the much improved seeing condition and better contrast against the darker Jovian limb.
