Sol 3071 : the Curiosity rover saw Mars' biggest satellite, Phobos, in the Martian night sky.
The size of Phobos from Mars is about 1/3rd that of the Moon as seen from Earth.
Here is the image taken in natural color and well processed.
The big crater Stickney is seen at the bottom of the disk, and the south polar crater Hall is at right close to the terminator. Enjoy smile.gif
