Awesome.
I'd really want to see those videos. Are you excited about the mysteries that Juno will hopefully unveil during its journey around Jupiter, too?... (I tried really hard to make a comprehensible phrase here, sorry if I failed )

Oh yes
Because that shadow appeared, your photo of Jupiter becomes more realistic... (far from abstraction "far far away")

I saw really excited people during last half Sun eclipse looking at the Sun disk... cause they experienced that there is really a space between Sun and the Earth, and the Moon in between...
Every day is worth of such excitement, but yes... those "little" proofs that planets are really existing are important.
So, once again, thank you for that photographed shadow
