Jupiter's Galilean satellites have provided viewing interest for astronomers since the 1600's. Sky and Telescope magazine regularly publishes their positions v. time for each month. This only gives the x-coordinate however. Using a published algorithm, both the x- and y-coordinates are calculated and presented in three form. The top window gives the classical display seen in Sky and Telescope., giving x-coordinate v. time graphically. The middle window gives a telescope eye view of Jupiter and the satellites updated for each time interval in the manner of a slide show.
