This time, I introduced Sora.”A “solar eclipse of Mars” photographed by the Mars rover“I would like to submit.

Coincidentally, the apparent diameters of the Moon and the Sun as seen from Earth are approximately the same. Therefore, depending on the distance from the Earth to the Moon, a total solar eclipse occurs, in which the entire Sun is hidden by the Moon, and an annular solar eclipse, in which the Sun appears to protrude from the Moon.

On the other hand, in the case of Mars, the apparent size of the moons Phobos and Deimos is smaller than the Sun, so the satellites can be observed passing through the Sun (trans-Sun, passing through the Sun) while partially hiding the Sun. .

The top of the opening image shows a solar eclipse of Phobos captured on April 2, 2022 by the Mars rover Perseverance on Mars. The two images below were taken by the Mars rover Curiosity. Bottom left is a solar eclipse captured by the Phobos satellite on March 26. 2019, and below right is a solar eclipse captured by the Phobos satellite.This is the solar eclipse captured by the Deimos satellite on March 17, 2019.

“Our plan is to have humans walking on Mars by 2040,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in March 2022 about manned exploration of Mars. In another quarter century, humans may see a solar eclipse by Phobos on Mars.
