Hi Alberto;

I know Alan Friedman has imaged light / dark patches on Ganymede in the past:

The lower image is the projected image from SNP, and the upper is from Alan.

The whole thread discussing this is at:

So I don't doubt at all that those features in the occultation could be real.

PS: It's supposed to freaking snow tonight!!

When the #$%:#% does this Global Warming start  again? Do we have to sacrifice Al Gore and David Suzuki to the sun god  before it finally warms up?

TTYL..
