NASA’s Perseverance Rover didn't just look up—it captured a sprint across the Martian sky! On March 1st, its navigation camera locked onto Deimos as the moon raced overhead in the pre-dawn darkness. Sixteen rapid-fire, 3-second exposures stacked together reveal the moon's movement across the Martian sky.

NASA's Perseverance rover captured this view of Deimos, the smaller of Mars's two moons, shining in the sky at 4:27 a.m. local time on March 1, 2025, the 1,433rd Martian day (sol) of the mission. In the dark before dawn, the rover's left navigation camera used its maximum long-exposure time of 3.28 seconds for each of 16 individual shots, all of which were combined onboard the camera into a single image that was later sent to Earth. In total, th…
