Back in 2004, the twin NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity took the first time-lapse photos of Phobos during a solar eclipse. Mars’ other moon, Deimos, is even smaller.) The images are the latest in a long history of NASA spacecraft capturing solar eclipses on Mars. (Phobos is about 157 times smaller than Earth’s Moon. Captured with Perseverance’s next-generation Mastcam-Z camera on April 2, the 397th Martian day, or sol, of the mission, the eclipse lasted a little over 40 seconds – much shorter than a typical solar eclipse involving Earth’s Moon. These observations can help scientists better understand the moon’s orbit and how its gravity pulls on the Martian surface, ultimately shaping the Red Planet’s crust and mantle. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has captured dramatic footage of Phobos, Mars’ potato-shaped moon, crossing the face of the Sun. NASA’s Perseverance Rover Captures Video of Solar Eclipse on Mars The Mastcam-Z camera recorded video of Phobos, one of the Red Planet’s two moons, to study how its orbit is changing over time. This will go hand in hand with the history of Black creators in the arts, and trace the story of their work through some of these iconic names. History takes us to the contemporary, and we will look at the Black artists today playing their part in the story of Black excellence and creativity with boldness and brilliance: including Kehinde Wiley, Bernardine Evaristo, and Kara Walker. We will highlight icons from across disciplines, and explore the work of Prince, Aretha Franklin, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Toni Morrison, and Miles Davis. We will also highlight history makers and trailblazers, whether those at the turn of the century like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday, or those established at the legendary Black Arts Repertory Theater in Harlem, New York, and the creators the movement included: names such as Audre Lorde, Ntozake Shange, Thelonious Monk, James Baldwin, and Gil Scott-Heron.
This month we will highlight Black artists on the platform who use their talents to promote not just Black excellence, but the Black experience.
