NASA released its video of Mars\u2019 small moon named Phobos passing in front of the Sun, called a solar eclipse. These spectacular events can be seen every few years here on Earth and take place on any planet with a moon. However, we\u2019ve only observed them on two, here and Mars.<\/p>\n

Captured using Perseverance\u2019s Mastcam-Z, the zoomed-in view of Phobos in front of the Sun shows the most detail of the Sun and Phobos from Mars for scientists to study yet. As the lumpy moon passes in the front of the Sun, you can not just see a clear outline of Phobos but also sunspots.<\/p>\n
