Fascinating occultation of Jupiter by Deimos in February, and then Deimos in turn by Phobos in March.

Though I think the description of the distance from Mars Express in the article is off, surely by an order of magnitude, at least?

QUOTE
The animation is pieced together from 19 HRSC images, taken on 30 March 2022 when Phobos was 12 km away from the camera. From this perspective it is difficult to see the size difference between the martian moons, as Deimos is further from the camera at a distance of 28 km.
