An incredible photo shows Earth photobombing Mars' moon Phobos.

It is the first time ever the two have been captured together from the surface of Mars.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture the view of Earth setting while Phobos is rising.

The image shows Phobos on the left and Earth on the right.

The scene shows the sky over Texoli, a butte on lower Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-tall mountain that Curiosity has been ascending since 2014.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says: "The image is a composite of five short exposures and 12 long exposures all taken on Sept. 5, 2024, the 4,295th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's mission.
