The FOURTH transit season would you believe.

They slightly missed the first - but it managed to be caught with secondary reflections. Attached, an Anim gif from Jim Bell (thanks Jim!). Even though only caught with reflection - still good enough to do astrometry!

Jim says there's possibly one more from Spirit this week, similar events for Opportunity in Feb - just Phobos this time around, not Deimos transits to be had.
