"NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures Epic Martian Solar Eclipse"
The Perseverance rover captured rare footage of solar eclipses on Mars as its moons, Phobos and Deimos, passed in front of the Sun. These events provide valuable insights into the moons' orbits and their effects on the Martian interior. Phobos, the larger and closer moon, blocks out more sunlight than Deimos, which is smaller and farther away. Interestingly, Phobos is on a collision course with Mars, while Deimos is slowly moving away from the planet. Despite these celestial spectacles, the rover's primary mission remains the search for signs of ancient life on Mars.
