Mars Perseverance rover captures stunning image of solar eclipse

One rover on Mars has captured remarkable footage of a solar eclipse

One of Mars’ moons, Phobos, was spotted passing across the sun by NASA’s Perseverance rover.

The 40-second eclipse was recorded by the rover’s Mastcam-Z camera system.

But the event is only a partial solar eclipse due to the moon’s size.

Although Phobos is Mars’ largest moon it is too small in size for a total eclipse.

Other solar eclipses have been captured on Mars previously but this is the “most zoomed-in video of a Phobos solar eclipse yet – and at the highest-frame rate ever”.

The new camera allows for zoomable colour camera and has a solar filter “that acts like sunglasses to reduce light intensity”.

The footage also serves a scientific purpose allowing researchers to study Phobos’ orbit and its relationship to Mars.

The planet’s gravity pulls the moon towards itself and changes its orbit with Phobos moving 6 feet closer to Mars every century.

It’s expect that Phobos will eventually be pulled apart in the next tens of millions of years.

AI and data sovereignty set to lead business innovations in 2025

As businesses embrace cutting-edge tech, challenges like data sovereignty and AI are taking centre stage.

 

Over the past six months, the AI industry has seen significant advancements, with competing models such as Meta’s Luma and Google’s Gemini entering the market.

However, these developments come with a reality check. Building large language models (LLMs) requires substantial computing power and time, making immediate returns on investment unlikely.

One promising innovation is agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI, which enables proactive, automated solutions.

For instance, this technology could stabilise IT systems autonomously, diagnosing and resolving issues without human intervention.

Data sovereignty has also emerged as a key focus, with increasing emphasis on keeping data within national borders to comply with local laws. This has driven the adoption of sovereign clouds and private data centres, ensuring secure and localised data processing for AI development.

Deepak Ajmani, Vice President of ANZ & APAC Emerging Markets at Confluent, joins to discuss the evolving business landscape.
