I thought this was very cool. Mars' (small) moon Phobos passes in front of the sun. Recorded by the Perseverance rover.

Cool!

Is that at actual speed?

The event itself is super cool.

The fact that it was filmed by a robot that we flew all the way to Mars, and then beamed the pictures back to us is almost cooler.

Yes. It just took a bit over 40 seconds. I found more out about it here.

Awesome! Wondering about why it was only 40 seconds, learned the orbital velocity is impressive. Thanks for sharing the video and additional info.
