Posted 01/15/15 CNET – Jupiter takes 11.86 Earth years to perform one complete orbit of the Sun. In this time, something happens twice: three of the planet’s four brightest and largest moons (known as the Galilean moons, Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa) out of a confirmed 67 will pass between the Sun and Jupiter at the same time, casting their shadows onto the planet’s face — and the phenomenon will be observable from Earth.
