Now all we've got to do is capture a comet passing Mars from one of the rovers and we've got the whole collection ..

Amazing ! We live in incredible times..

Thanks for the link!

Makes one appreciate the perspective of the diameter of the
Earth to its own Moon compared to observing the relatively diminutive
sizes of the moons around the other solar system planets.

I agree, Gary - we're almost a binary planet system!

Wow that's impressive , I wonder in the future when we inhabit Mars weather the New Marsians will view similar eclipses, clear skies.

Great view.

It's fantastic that we are now able to view these celestial events from different angles.
