J., Jr. ; Ogburn, T. J., III ; Trasco, J. D. Abstract Observations of the times of eclipses of Jupiter's satellite lo by Picard and Roemer were reduced by the principle of least squares with modern orbits for Earth and Jupiter. The best-fitting value for the light travel time across one astronomical unit does not differ from the currently accepted value by one part in 200. The rms deviation between the observations and our model is 118 sec.
