Curiosity got to see some eclipses.

With the recent demise of anther martian rover it's nice to see some of the lesser known stuff from them.

This is a series of pics taken by curiosity of an annular eclipse of the moon Phobos eclipsing the sun in relation to the surface of mars.

Quite cool I think!

    Wow the moon eclipsing the Sun from Mars is pretty to see. But why the moon is not round there? @gavvet

      Its not our moon, its one of the moons of mars, photographed by a rover on the surface of mars. It's to small to be fully round.
