Making Sense Of Mars’ Tiny Moon Of Phobos

Understanding the Martian moon of Phobos’ origin hinges on decoding its interior. Japan’s Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) mission due for launch in late 2026 should help.

However, the Martian moons orbit much closer to their planet than the distance between #Earth and Earth's moon. #Deimos, at far left, and #Phobos, beside it, are shown together as they actually were photographed by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) of the Mars rover #Curiosity on August 1, 2013.

This illustration provides a comparison for how big the moons of #Mars appear to be, as seen from the surface of Mars, in relation to the size that #Earth's moon appears to be when seen from the surface of Earth. Earth's moon actually has a diameter more than 100 times greater than the larger Martian moon, #Phobos.

New modeling indicates that the grooves on #Mars’ moon #Phobos could be produced by tidal forces—the mutual gravitational pull of the planet and the moon. Initially, scientists had thought the grooves were created by the massive impact that made #Stickney crater (lower right).
