Ok. It’s a time lapse movie, assembled from many photographs. Someone at NASA fucked up and compiled the series of photographs BACKWARDS. North Pole is at top, but rotation appears to be toward left, with planets falling behind Jupiter’s rotation and appearing to move right

Moons must be falling behind rotation of planet because outermost moon (Europa) appears to be moving faster but Europa orbits slower than Io as it’s at the higher orbit. So planet must be rotating left as it appears to be.
