NASA has recorded video of a Mars moon eclipsing the sun, an effort that helps them determine when the moon might crash into the planet.

Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera system to shoot video of one of Mars’ two moons, Phobos, Wednesday. NASA says it’s the most zoomed-in, highest-frame-rate observation of a Phobos solar eclipse ever taken from the Martian surface.
