You can see the shadow of Europa on the limb of the planet. 3 satellites are visible in this image. At the top (above Jupiter), we see Io. Below, Europa is the closest to the planet, followed by Ganymede. Presence of the "Great Red Spot", here at the center of the limb of the planet.

Shadow of Europa's satellite on the limb of the planet, Europa being just to the right of Jupiter, and Io to the left. Careful observation will reveal a small point at the top left of Jupiter, which is Callisto
