  Probably a camera of some sort.

    That would be my guess too. Perhaps aided by a kind of telescope.

      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.

        As a younger person… was this thought of as a real possibility by some people? I find that hard to believe

  It was the Mastcom-Z camera on Perseverance.

  NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars has returned a stunning sequence of images of its moon, Phobos, eclipsing the sun. From Mars’ Jezero Crater, the rover’s SkyCam and MastCam took over 65 images of the event on February 8, one per second, to ensure it captured the short event.
