Bet you missed it, didn't you?  Unless you're Superman, you most certainly did: it was on Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter.  Io moved between that moon and the sun casting a distinct shadow.  I wonder in the great scheme of nomenclature if, as viewed from earth, this would be called a lunar eclipse?  Probably best called an Ionian (Ionic?) eclipse.  Whatever, very cool
