Triple Eclipse on Jupiter

Posted by michael on from the triple-your-pleasure dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Hubble Space Telescope captured a stunning image of a rare triple eclipse. Three of Jupiter's three big moons--Io, Ganymede and Callisto--eclipsed large portions of face of the giant planet. Such an event happens about once a decade."

    What was that about a triple eclipse every 5000 years in The Fifth Element?
