What will become of Jupiter? How will life on Jupiter be affected by this triple moon shadow transit? What does this transit have to teach us about the power of the common people to overthrow global imperialism in our lifetimes? These are just some of the questions posed in this paragraph.
Please add your commentary and remembrances of favorite multiple moon shadow transits of yore.

no. islam preaches only one moon god. jupiter is haraam with multiple dieties
jupiter/europa facts:
So a contributing factor to the prevalence of life on earth is its magnetic field which shields the surface from high energy charged particles (solar protons, cosmic rays) by deflecting their earth-bound trajectories away or in loops within the magnetic field.
jupiter has a very strong magnetic field:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere_of_Jupiter
what results is a lot of very energy particles trapped within the magnetosphere.
of course what i call "very high energy particles" can be more colloquially understood as (ionizing) radiation. so how much radiation?
so much radiation that europa, despite being minisucle with little gravitational attraction has an atmosphere of sorts. it's a local atmosphere on the side of europa that is orbiting through the magnetosphere: high energy particles hit the surface and break the liquid ice bonds such that a tenuous, local oxygen atmosphere forms. http://people.virginia.edu/~rej/papers09/Johnson4005.pdf
now, let's play a cruel joke on europa and send man's first ambassador to europa: thomas friedman. after a journey of about 10 friedman units to europa in a well-shielded spacecraft, our intrepid major tom friedman steps out onto the surface because he was too busy talking to the folks at ground control and relaying stories about his travels and socializing with people at davos.
he steps out and dies from radiation exposure on the surface before he draw his first empty breath of the vacuum of space (/incredibly low density of O).
such is the radiation on europa.

Yes, I found the merger of Io's and Callisto's shadows a particularly stomach-churning moment.
