      NASA’s [Perseverance rover](https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2020-perseverance) captured this view of Deimos, the smaller of Mars’ two moons, shining in the sky at 4:27 a.m. local time on March 1, 2025, the 1,433rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. In the dark before dawn, the rover’s left navigation camera used its maximum long-exposure time of 3.28 seconds for each of 16 individual shots, all of which were combined onboard the camera into a single image that was later sent to Earth. In total, the image represents an exposure time of about 52 seconds.

      The low light and long exposures add digital noise, making the image hazy. Many of the white specks seen in the sky are likely noise; some may be cosmic rays. Two of the brighter white specks are Regulus and Algieba, stars that are part of the constellation Leo.

    2. If someone wants to explain. The article says that the photo was taken at around 4am (local time).

      What „local time“ is it going by? Because I know there is „Coordinated Mars Time“. But just like on Earth, each martian timezone differs depending on where the sun is positioned.

      So have we broken Mars up into several different timezones to specify the time at that particular location? Or are we just calculating time based on where the current active rovers are on Mars.

      2nd question, does anyone know why Perseverance rover stopped recording the weather? There was a website dedicated to curiosity rover and the current temp there, and then Perseverance rover.

      Perseverance rover had a website dedicated to it at the beginning of the mission, but it has been gone now for almost a year.

      Even the one for the Insight Lander is still up: https://mars.nasa.gov/layout/embed/image/insightweather/

      **Edit**: I noticed the links for both of those were pretty guessable… so I tried `m2020`, `2020`, and finally `m20`, and I found the page, but apparently it also isn’t recording temps. But that’s also the only rover that you cannot find on Google. Wonder what happened.
