An asteroid slams into Mars — a reminder that the Red Planet is still an active world. With a thinner atmosphere and weaker gravity than Earth, impacts like this leave massive craters that can last billions of years. Mars’ surface is basically a history book written in rock. #space #mars #SpaceX #asteroid #simulation #astronomy | Astro Clips

🌍🌙 On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe captured a rare event — Earth and the Moon passed in front of the Sun, as seen from Saturn! ☀️ Such a transit occurs only once every 15 years, while a central transit like this one happens only twice every 1,000 years! 🔭 To actually see Earth as a tiny black dot on the Sun from Saturn, you'd need a telescope with at least 30x magnification. 🎥 This is a simulation based on real data from the Huygens probe. 📸 Credit: ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
