NASA Mars Curiosity Rover Takes Incredible Video Of Moon Over Mars [WATCH]

NASA released an amazing new video of a moonrise over Mars. The otherworldly video was recorded by NASA's Curiosity rover. Scroll down to watch the video.

The new video stitched together 86 frames captured by Curiosity's navigation camera.

The video shows one of Mars' two tiny moons rising after sunset.

In the new video, the moon Phobus rises shortly after sunset on June 28, 2013.

"You asked for the moon. Here it is! See footage from my Navcam of Mars' moon Phobos rising," the Mars Curiosity rover "said" (or, well, NASA officials wrote).

Phobos is only 14 miles (22 kilometers) wide on average. Mars' other moon, Deimos, is even littler-and Mars is a huge planet. It is likely that both moons, Phobos and Deimos, are former asteroids. They may have been captured by Mars' gravity and gone into orbit over the Red Planet.

The video is short, clocking in at just 32 seconds. But the moon rising actually occurred over the course of 27 minutes.

There is a ring visible in the video that was caused by the scattering of light inside the camera.

The rover first landed to try to figure out whether the Mars could ever have supported microbial life or had water. And, indeed, it could have-scientists decided that Yellowknife Bay was habitable billions of years ago.

Much of the Internet thought there was a Mars rat from a photo the Curiosity took...but sadly, it was a rock.

The Rover will soon embark on a two-year trip to Mount Sharp.

The moon photos will help scientists understand how the Phobos and Deimos orbit.
