Are there night photos from curiosity or early of Mars's skies?
Two moon on the sky. Photos from ground. From rovers.
Perhaps not exactly like this:
but more like this:
but at night and two moons.

$\begingroup$ I try to search, NASA site, google, but there is nothing like what i'm looking for. $\endgroup$ – woodstack Jul 23 '13 at 11:41

1$\begingroup$ First of all, this question is way off-topic. Second, while Mars indeed has two natural satellites (Phobos and Deimos) visible to the naked eye from its surface (there are possibly other, even smaller object orbiting Mars though), they're really small compared to our Luna and even the Deimos (the closer one) wouldn't appear very large - Deimos appearing the size of one twelfth of the width of Luna as seen from Earth. So the photos you're requesting wouldn't look all that impressive at all, and Phobos would appear only marginally bigger than other visible stars and planets in the background. $\endgroup$ – TildalWave Jul 23 '13 at 15:54

2$\begingroup$ I think this question could be improved by having it somehow related to space exploration. As written, it seems to me to be less about exploration and more about aesthetics which seems off-topic to me. $\endgroup$ – Kevin Ford The Submariner Jul 23 '13 at 19:43

1$\begingroup$ @woodstack - With Mars' moons relatively small on the Martian sky compared to our Luna, partial Solar eclipses on Mars due to Phobos or Deimos happening only rarely, and with the majority of light still hitting the Martian ground, I'm not sure what shadows you're referring to, except of terrain and rovers themselves? See: scientificamerican.com/…, and space.com/19444-mars-rover-curiosity-night-photos.html and i.space.com/images/i/000/030/548/original/… $\endgroup$ – TildalWave Aug 13 '13 at 7:09

Yes. And I found it on Wikipedia. Available on NASA Images as well.
Image feature: Phobos & Deimos as seen by the rover Spirit.

2$\begingroup$ I'm interesting in photo-session, could you share full address to source of this image? $\endgroup$ – woodstack Jul 23 '13 at 11:05

$\begingroup$ This is not exactly what i'm looking for, 50px white cirle on the black background doesn't show anything. $\endgroup$ – woodstack Jul 23 '13 at 11:40

1$\begingroup$ @woodstack Maybe there a high resolution picture with a lot more stars around, but the moons are really small. So this is kind of the best quality of what you will get. I am surprised that someone was able to catch this moment in a photo anyway :-) $\endgroup$ – s-m-e Jul 23 '13 at 12:18

12$\begingroup$ @woodstack you're unlikely to find one. In part, because by day, they are not visible, and at night, mars is dark enough you won't see the ground, because the tiny moons don't reflect enough light to matter, and the atmosphere's too thin for decent backscatter. $\endgroup$ – aramis May 10 '14 at 2:26

1$\begingroup$ I spent some time look for it and finally got the correct source link on NASA Images. $\endgroup$ – not_Prince Nov 30 '18 at 8:12
