Solar Eclipse from Mars: A bucket list for many people includes watching a solar eclipse. On the day of a solar eclipse, people see it with the help of glasses. But NASA has taken a step in this direction, showing what this event looks like from Mars.
Solar Eclipse Captured From Mars
According to news published in the “Daily Mail” newspaper, the space agency’s Perseverance spacecraft captured footage of the Martian moon Phobos as it crosses the sun. This rover has been on Mars since February 640. The footage was taken on April 2 with the Mastcam-Z camera equipped with Advance technology.

Mars’ moon Phobos
“I knew it was going to be great, but I didn’t expect it to be so great,” said Rachel Howson, a scientist at Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego. Explain that Phobos is the natural moon of Mars and has a diameter of 11 x x miles (640 times 14 times 27 kilometers).

Three times a day it orbits Mars
It orbits Mars three times a day. While our moon is perfectly round, this moon of Mars is shaped as irregularly as a potato. It is so close to the surface of the planet that it is not always visible in some places on Mars.
Phobos is much smaller than the moon
The solar eclipse visible from Mars is much smaller than the Earth’s. This is surprising, because Phobos is smaller than Earth’s moon by about 22. Rovers include Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity. The probes took pictures of the solar eclipse from Mars. Perseverance footage has been enlarged further in the video of the Phobos solar eclipse.
