"The simulations shown in Starry Night allowed both Mars rovers to acquire time-lapse images of the moons of Mars, including daytime "solar eclipse" transits of both Phobos and Deimos across the Sun as well as nighttime "lunar eclipse" passes of Phobos entering and emerging from the shadow of Mars.  I remember it well and remain a big fan of Starry Night to this day."
