Perseverance Captures Intriguing 'Googly Eye' on Mars During Solar Eclipse

CNN  

The Perseverance rover captured a video of a 'googly eye' feature on Mars during a recent solar eclipse. The eclipse lasted about 30 seconds, which made the minutes-long solar eclipses seen from Earth seem epic. The rover's latest observation carries on the tradition of Mars rovers that have served as the few spectators to glimpse — and record — a Martian eclipse. The rover's video of the eclipse is the latest in a series of images and videos of Martian eclipses taken by the rover.
