Mars Curiosity Rover Shoots Video of Phobos Moon Rising

Posted by samzenpus on from the moons-of-mars dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This movie clip shows Phobos, the larger of the two moons of Mars, passing overhead, as observed by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity in a series of images centered straight overhead starting shortly after sunset. Phobos first appears near the lower center of the view and moves toward the top of the view. The clip runs at accelerated speed; the amount of time covered in it is about 27 minutes"

    And if you want to reenact that for yourself, get a copy of Kerbal Space Program and get launching.
