Hera caught the moon Deimos crossing Mars on March 12, 2025. The spacecraft used a flyby of Mars to boost it to its final destination, the asteroid Didymos. Hera was about 620 miles (1,000 km) away from the moon Deimos as it took these images. See more Mars and Deimos pics below. Image via ESA/ JAXA.
