On September 5, 2024, NASA’s Curiosity rover achieved a historic milestone by capturing the first-ever image of Earth alongside Phobos, one of Mars' moons, from the surface of the Red Planet.

Using its Mast Camera, or Mastcam for short, Curiosity photographed Earth setting the Red Planet night sky while one of Mars' two moons, Phobos, rises on Sept. 5.The rover's new view, which ...

From Mars' Jezero Crater, the Perseverance rover, which landed on the planet in 2021, captured a series of images on Feb. 8 of the odd-shaped tiny moon Phobos passing in front of the much-larger sun.

The orbit of Mars Express has been fine-tuned to get us as close to Phobos as possible during a handful of flybys between 2023 and 2025, which will give us great opportunities to try.” ...

"No Mars spacecraft has ever had this kind of view before." The Odyssey, which completed its 22nd year orbiting Mars last month, ... THEMIS captured images of Mars' little moon, Phobos, ...

Deimos orbits about four times farther from Mars than Phobos does and appears roughly 2.5′ across (about twice the maximum size of Venus as seen from Earth).

Previously unpublished photos of Mars' moon Phobos hint that the mysterious satellite may actually be a trapped comet — or perhaps just a piece of one, along with its twin moon Deimos.
