Is it Mimas? It seems too big for Mimas. Why is it unlabelled?

Has a spacecraft ever directly photographed a mutual eclipse between 2 separate moons?
This image is from NASA's Eyes On The Solar System Website. It is simulating an eclipse on Europa by Io. This was in 2021 so Juno (While not in an optimal position) was at Jupiter while this was happening and this wasn't the only mutual eclipse in 2021. Has a probe ever imaged something like this (at Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune) up close?

Is there a higher quality scan of the first solar eclipse photo?
The first surviving photo of a total solar eclipse is from the 28th of July 1851 captured by Julius Berkowski. This is the highest quality version I can find. The quality is limited by the jpeg compression, the original daguerreotype would have more detail. While the original daguerreotype was destroyed in WW2 a a direct period reproduction is preserved at the Jena University Observatory in Germany.

if a TNO larger than Mercury were to be found would the IAU consider updating their definition of a planet?
Let's say a planetary body similar to Ganymede were found orbiting the Sun between 50 and 250 AU. Would this be enough to sway the IAU into holding another vote?
What about if it were slightly more massive than Mercury? This would make it a little larger than Mars assuming a similar density to Eris.
EDIT: To be clear I am not asking if it would meet the current definition of a planet. I am asking if the discovery of a planetary body larger than Mercury or Mars in the Scattered Disc would motivate the IAU to reconsider the current definition.

If I hand in my 4 weeks notice now can I still go to an interview at another sainsbury's store?
I booked the interview last week and it's scheduled for between when I'd hand in my notice and before when I have my last shift. Will this cause the interview to be cancelled? I understand it may affect my chances in the interview. I want out of my current position so I intend to hand it in regardless.

The moon is a planet
As per the geophysical definition of a planet, any celestial body that is in hydrostatic equilibrium and is not a star qualifies as a planet. The moon specifically being a satellite planet or moon.
