Although they only happen every now and then, it is plausible that many people will one day contemplate one of the eclipses visible from Earth in which the Moon comes between the Sun and the observer. On the other hand, the eclipse shown in the photograph was seen in person only by NASA’s Perseverance robotic rover, which has been circulating on the Martian surface since 2021. This eclipse occurred on September 30, 2024. Phobos, one of the natural satellites of Mars, passed in front of the Sun, from a visual point of view in the sector of the Martian surface where the robot was located, covering part of our star.
