NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has captured dramatic 
footage of Phobos, Mars’ potato-shaped moon, crossing the 
face of the Sun. These observations can help scientists better 
understand the moon’s orbit and how its gravity pulls on the 
Martian surface, ultimately shaping the Red Planet’s crust and 
mantle.

 Captured with Perseverance’s next-generation Mastcam-Z 
camera on April 2, the 397th Martian day, or sol, of the 
mission, the eclipse lasted a little over 40 seconds – much 
shorter than a typical solar eclipse involving Earth’s Moon. 
(Phobos is about 157 times smaller than Earth’s Moon. Mars’ 
other moon, Deimos, is even smaller.)

The images are the latest in long history of NASA spacecraft

Mars Rover Captures Videoof a Solar Eclipse on Mars 

capturing solar eclipses on Mars. Back in 2004, the twin NASA 
rovers Spirit and Opportunity took the first time-lapse photos 
of Phobos during a solar eclipse. Curiosity continued the trend 
with videos shot by its Mastcam camera system.

 But Perseverance, which landed in February 2021, has 
provided the most zoomed-in video of a Phobos solar eclipse 
yet – and at the highest-frame rate ever. That’s thanks to 
Perseverance’s next-generation Mastcam-Z camera system, a 
zoomable upgrade from Curiosity’s Mastcam.

 “I knew it was going to be good, but I didn’t expect it to 
be this amazing,” said Rachel Howson of Malin Space Science 
Systems in San Diego, one of the Mastcam-Z team members 
who operates the camera.

 Howson noted that although Perseverance first sends lower-
resolution thumbnails that offer a glimpse of the images to 
come, she was stunned by the full-resolution versions: “It feels 
like a birthday or holiday when they arrive. You know what’s 
coming, but there is still an element of surprise when you get 
to see the final product.”

 Color also sets this version of a Phobos solar eclipse apart. 
Mastcam-Z has a solar filter that acts like sunglasses to reduce 
light intensity. “You can see details in the shape of Phobos’ 
shadow, like ridges and bumps on the moon’s landscape,” 
said Mark Lemmon, a planetary astronomer with the Space 
Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, who has orchestrated 
most of the Phobos observations by Mars rovers. “You can 
also see sunspots. And it’s cool that you can see this eclipse 
exactly as the rover saw it from Mars.”

 As Phobos circles Mars, its gravity exerts small tidal forces on 
the Red Planet’s interior, slightly deforming rock in the planet’s 
crust and mantle. These forces also slowly change Phobos’ 
orbit. As a result, geophysicists can use those changes to better 
understand how pliable the interior of Mars is, revealing more 
about the materials within the crust and mantle.

 Scientists already know that Phobos is doomed: The moon 
is getting closer to the Martian surface and is destined to 
crash into the planet in tens of millions of years. But eclipse 
observations from the surface of Mars over the last two decades 
have also allowed scientists to refine their understanding of 
Phobos’ slow death spiral.

 A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is 
astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial 
life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past 
climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, 
and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and 
regolith (broken rock and dust).

Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA 
(European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to 
collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them 
to Earth for in-depth analysis.

The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA’s 
Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes Artemis 
missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human 
exploration of the Red Planet.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed 
for the agency by Caltech, built and manages operations 
of the Perseverance rover. Arizona State University leads 
the operations of the Mastcam-Z instrument, working in 
collaboration with Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego.

ARCADIA RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY 
AND ROBBERY APRIL 18, 2022 AT 

4:00 A.M. 
On April 17, 2022, at 10:28 p.m. Arcadia Police Officers responded to the 700 
block of Carriage House Lane, in response to an armed residential burglary 
that had just occurred. 

The residents, who were home at this time, told officers that two suspects, one 
armed with a handgun, entered their home, and tied the couple up to restrict 
their movement. 

With the victims limited in movement, the suspects gathered backpacks and 
bags belonging to the couple that contained numerous personal and miscellaneous 
items inside. 

In addition to stealing the bags, the suspects also stole a late-model Tesla, which 
was parked in the garage. 

During this event one of the victims sustained visible injuries to the cheek and 
lip, because of being struck by one 
of the suspects. 

The suspects are both described as being male Hispanics, 5’-06”, heavy-set, 
wearing dark clothing, masks, and gloves. 

The suspects left the location in the stolen Tesla, which was 
recovered a short time later in the 3800 block of East California Boulevard, in 
the city of Pasadena. 

This case is currently under investigation. Anyone with information on this 
incident is encouraged to contact the Arcadia Police Department at (626) 5745151, 
case number 22-1575. 

If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" 
by dialing (800) 222-TIPS(8477), use your smartphone by downloading the “P3 Tips” Mobile APP on 
Google play or the Apple App Store, or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.
