Summary
| Description |
English: A transit of Deimos from Mars: Deimos is in transit across the Sun, as seen from Mars by Mars Rover Opportunity on March 4, 2004, at 03:03:43 UTC Earth time. In the photo, the Sun has angular diameter 20.6' while Deimos only has 2.5'. Phobos by contrast usually has an angular diameter of around 12' as seen from Mars. Deimos took a little more than a minute to transit the Sun, passing well off center and moving downward and to the right; more central transits can take up to two minutes from start to end.
Italiano: Un transito di Deimos da Marte: Deimos transita davanti al disco solare, visto dal pianeta Marte dal rover marziano della NASA, Opportunity, il 4 marzo 2004 alle 03:03:43 UTC (tempo terrestre). Nella fotografia, il Sole ha un diametro angolare di 20,6' mentre Deimos di soli 2,5'. Fobos per confronto mostra abitualmente un diametro angolare di circa 12', visto da Marte. Deimos impiega poco più di un minuto a completare il transito del disco solare, passando ben discostato dal centro della figura e muovendosi verso destra e verso il basso; fenomeni più centrati possono richiedere fino a due minuti dall'inizio alla fine. |
