On August 12, 1966 you could witness a triple shadow transit on Uranus, plus the 3 eclipsing moons (Umbriel, Titania, Ariel) transiting and an occultation of Ariel's shadow by Titania. (As seen from earth).
Enjoy in my Gallery!

some of these moons are so small, how can you even see the chadows through a normal telescope?
