Perseverance rover, currently roaming the red, rocky surface of Mars, captured a video of the partial eclipse in the atmosphere as Phobos crossed in front of the Sun, giving the illusion of what NASA referred to as 'googly eye'. The potato-shaped Martian moon was passing directly between the Sun and a point on the surface of Mars, obscuring a large part of the Sun's disc when it was clicked by Perseverance's Mastcam-Z camera on its 1,285th day (September 30) on the Red Planet.

"Ever feel like someone's watching you? That's how I felt when I observed this transit of the Martian moon Phobos! The pupil in this "googly eye" is the potato-shaped moon, and the iris is our Sun," the X (formerly Twitter) handle of Perseverance captioned the intriguing video.
