An impressive Solar eclipse from Mars brought to light the NASA.
The space agency’s Perseverance rover captured stunning shots of the moon in the shape of a potato. Phobosto cross the face of the sun.
The rover, which has been on Mars since February 2021, captured the footage with the next generation camera Mastcam-Z on April 2nd.
“I knew it would be good, but I did not expect it to be so amazing,” said Rachel Howson of Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, a member of the Mastcam-Z team that operates the camera.
THE Fear is the largest of the two moons of Mars and has a diameter of 17 x 14 x 11 miles (27 by 22 by 18 kilometers).
It orbits Mars three times a day and is so close to the planet’s surface that in some places on Mars it is not always visible.
The eclipse took place on the 397th Martian day of Perseverance and lasted a little longer than 40 seconds.
This is much smaller than a typical solar eclipse involving the Earth Moon, which is not surprising, since Fear is about 157 times smaller than the moon.
