Transit of Phobos from Mars, as seen by Mars Rover Opportunity
Transit of Phobos from Mars, as seen by Mars Rover Opportunity On Mars, only partial solar eclipses (transits) are possible, because neither of its moons is large enough, at their respective orbital radii, to cover the Sun’s disc as seen from the surface of the planet. Eclipses of the moons by Mars are not only possible, but commonplace, with hundreds occurring each Earth year. There are also rare occasions when Deimos is eclipsed by Phobos. Martian eclipses have been photographed from both the surface of Mars and from orbit.
This is amazing.
Cool!
