Phobos: Mars' Imminent Collision Course

Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, is on a collision course with the red planet, set to crash into it in tens of millions of years. NASA's Perseverance Rover captured a stunning view of Phobos eclipsing the Sun from the surface of Mars, providing valuable observations of the moon's slow death spiral. Meanwhile, Earth's Moon is gradually moving away from us, resulting in a decrease in the number and frequency of total solar eclipses. In about 600 million years, Earth will experience its last total solar eclipse. However, before that happens, the Sun will become a Red Giant and engulf the Earth, ensuring that the Moon and Earth go down together.
