From one day to the next, the view of the Moon would change considerably for an observer on Mars than for an observer on Earth. The phase of the Moon as seen from Mars would not change much from day to day; it would match the phase of the Earth, and would only gradually change as both Earth and Moon move in their orbits around the Sun. On the ...
Curiosity's view of the Mars moons: Phobos passing in front of Deimos in real-time (video-gif, 1 August 2013) As seen from Mars, Deimos would have an angular diameter of no more than 2.5 minutes (sixty minutes make one degree), one twelfth of the width of the Moon as seen from Earth, and would therefore appear almost star-like to the naked eye ...
Apparent sizes of the moons of Mars, Deimos and Phobos, and the Moon as viewed from the surface of their respective planets (Mars' moons imaged by the Curiosity rover, 1 August 2013) Size comparison between Phobos, Deimos and the Moon (right) If viewed from Mars's surface near its equator, a full Phobos would look about one-third as big as a ...

Jupiter and the moon will become visible shortly after nightfall, but the entire show won't be observable until after 10 p.m. local time, once Mars rises above the horizon.
Mars and Jupiter are cozying up in the night sky for their closest rendezvous this decade. In reality, our solar system’s biggest planet and its dimmer, reddish neighbor will be more than 350 ...
A spacecraft launching from Mars' surface to the lower space elevator would only need a delta-v of 0.52 km/s (0.32 mi/s), as opposed to the over 3.6 km/s (2.2 mi/s) needed to launch to low Mars orbit.
