United KingdomNASA's Perseverance Mars rover captured a rare event on July 2, 2026, where Earth appeared as a small bright dot moving across the Martian moon Phobos. This composite image, created from seven photographs taken by the Mastcam-Z instrument, highlights the relative positions of Earth and Phobos during their orbital alignment. The image processing technique used enhanced visibility by removing extraneous light, revealing the true colors of the Martian twilight. The event occurred during the 1,907th Martian day of the mission, showcasing the rover's capability to observe celestial phenomena from the surface of Mars.
