I haven't done the math, but I don't think any of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons has the correct size-distance ratios to have the same effect.

:palm: That isn't what I meant.  You cannot live on Jupiter or Saturn itself as they are gas giants without a surface.  I was talking about if you built a colony dome city on one of those moons, or in a space suit on one of those moons, just having a dim sun as you maximum day light level because you are far away from the sum.  I was not talking about an eclipse on the planets Jupiter or Saturn.

My analogy still applies. Just imagine the ISS being Titan or Ganymede, and the Earth being Jupiter/Saturn.  The effect seen in the video will be the same.
