The Perseverance rover has captured a rare sight on Mars, as it spotted two solar eclipses caused by the moons Phobos and Deimos passing in front of the sun. Normally, the rover focuses on the Martian terrain, but it turned its gaze upward to capture these unique events. While complete solar eclipses do not occur on Mars due to the moons’ small size, their movements provide researchers with valuable information about their orbits and how they interact with the Martian interior. This discovery could offer important insights into the moons’ behavior and their impact on the planet.
