"Exploring the Possibility of Spotting Phobos and Deimos from Mars's Surface"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Perseverance Rover captured an image of Mars' moon Phobos eclipsing the Sun, serving as a reminder that the moon is destined to crash into the planet. Phobos is gradually approaching Mars at a rate of six feet every hundred years and is expected to collide with the planet in tens of millions of years or break up into a ring. The recent eclipse observations have provided scientists with valuable insights into Phobos' slow death spiral. This discovery comes amidst NASA's exploration of Mars, including the recent finding of diverse organic matter on the planet's surface.
