A Rare Look at Mars’ Mysterious Moon, Deimos! 🌑 This stunning infrared sequence, captured during Hera’s gravity-assist flyby on March 12, 2025, shows Deimos drifting across the face of Mars – a sight rarely seen. Unlike its host planet, Deimos is airless and absorbs heat quickly, making it appear hotter and brighter than Mars in these images. Though it looks like the moon is moving northward, Hera was actually speeding past Deimos from north to south at the time. With its dark, heat-absorbing s

🌟Martian Moon Deimos Crosses the Face of the Sun 🌞 NASA's Perseverance rover has recently treated us to a rare spectacle: the Martian moon Deimos gracefully passing in front of the Sun as seen from the Red Planet's surface. The video shows a timelapse of the event at 10x speed — in real-time, the transit took about 2 minutes. Deimos, orbiting Mars every 30 hours, is significantly smaller than the other Martian moon, Phobos. Despite its small size, the observation of Deimos' transit holds signi
