Abstract
This paper provides the predictions of the mutual phenomena of the Gal ilean satellites which will occur in 1997. Past experiences have shown the interest of the observation of such events very rare, since they occur only every 6 years when the Earth and the Sun pass through the c ommon orbital plane of the Galilean satellites.
