Solar Eclipse - from MARS!

I am giving a link here to one of the most AWESOME videos I've seen in a long time.  It was taken from the surface of Mars by the Curiosity Rover, and is an eclipse of the sun by Mars' larger moon Phobos.

Until human history finally catches up with the promises made by science fiction writers from Verne to Heinlein, this is the closest I'll ever come to seeing a sight like this in person.

I would, by the way, give everything I own to go to the moon, let alone Mars.
