Jupiter, Europa, Io & Ganymede
#3
Indeed, it is a nice image.

However, in trying to determine the time it was taken, I found the only recent match for the pictured satellite and shadow positions was on 16-Feb-2018 (not the 10th) at about 19:45 UT. Given that Jupiter is currently a morning object, that time would suggest it was taken at the longitude of Japan / Australia. Since it's oriented South up and East to the right, if it's a correct view (e.g., like binoculars), then it was probably taken Down Under.
