Solar Eclipse on Mars Captured by the Perseverance Rover

Post by ahmedreda »

:D Now we know what a Solar Eclipse on Mars looks like.

Spoiler alert it looks more like a transit than an eclipse.

Apparently, these transits happen fairly often. They have been captured before, both for Phobos and Deimos, but perhaps not quite as clearly or in color.
