From the surface of Mars, Phobos has an apparent diameter 1/3 that of the full moon as seen from Earth. Both Phobos and Deimos have been imaged eclipsing the sun from Mars. So, why don't we ever see Mars rover/lander images of the Martian sky that show what Phobos and/or Deimos would look like to a person standing on Mars? Is there a reason why Phobos and Deimos cannot be imaged from the location of any of the Mars rover/lander missions without eclipsing the sun?
