Mars and Saturn will appear to be just one half of a degree apart tomorrow in the evening sky. Worth looking for! When was the last time Mars transited (passed in front of) Saturn?

December 22, 1935 with a grazing transit on April 1, 1994. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_of_Mars_from_Saturn Jun 17 06, 8:18 AM

Clarification: I am looking for historical and future transits of Saturn by Mars as apparent from earth (Mars passing in front of Saturn for terrestrial viewers). Tonight's conjunction is close, but it seems that at some time there must be, or have been, an exact overlap or coincidence: Mars with rings! Jun 17 06, 10:01 AM

Why don't the Mars rovers take pictures of the Martian sky and landscape at night? Is it because their solar panels can't store energy so they can only take pictures in the day time? How big is Mars? Mars rotates in 24 hours, 37 minutes. However, the earth is 10 times as massive as Mars, yet it rotates in about the same time. Why does the earth rotate so slowly? What is the tallest mountain on Mars?
