I recently spotted evidence of an eclipse on Mars. Watch closely as the surface gets dimmer, and my solar power dips just before 11:25 a.m. Phobos—the bigger of Mars’ two moons—was responsible for this one, as it slipped between the sun and me.pic.twitter.com/HNvDj7bQkS

Ground temerature dropped a few degrees because the amount of sunlight decreased by a maximum of 20% fover 30 seconds? Seems a but extreme given how thin the atmosphere is how would it lose the heat?

Mars's atmosphere is 0.6% as thick as Earth's at the surface; this temperature drop seems in line with its lack of thermal inertia. :)
