Think about that though. I guess it’s no big deal to younger people since Mars has been reachable for their whole life, but the fact that we have robots on Mars taking pictures of a solar eclipse and sending it back to earth is just amazing to me! Mars was a huge mystery when I was a kid. Heck, my childhood was at the tail end of society wondering if there were martians living on Mars.
That’s actually amazing that we have eclipse shots from Mars. Anyone know how it was taken? What instrument?
Probably a camera of some sort.
That would be my guess too. Perhaps aided by a kind of telescope.

It was the Mastcom-Z camera on Perseverance.
