Embark on an interplanetary journey with us as we explore the mysterious moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos! From their unusual ...

Hope probe captured high-resolution image of Mars' moon Deimos. The spacecraft flew "as close as 100km (62 miles)" from the ...

The images presented show Deimos set against a backdrop of the Red Planet below it as Hera flew within 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) of Mars and just 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) of Deimos.

And Deimos isn’t made of the right stuff to be a D-type asteroid. In fact, its composition is startlingly similar to Mars itself, with all the right amounts of carbon and organic molecules.

Differences between the near and far side of Deimos have yet to be analyzed. Hope will continue its mission into 2024, observing Deimos throughout 2023 alongside its ongoing Mars observations.

Deimos, one of Mars' two moons, is eight miles wide and orbits about 14,600 miles away from the Red Planet. Credit: ESA This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Deimos is tidally locked with Mars, meaning the same side always faces the planet, so probes near Mars see only one side of the small moon, too — that is, until Hope arrived on the scene.

Mars has been a hotbed for space exploration over the past several decades. However, just recently we got our closest look at the Martian moons Deimos and Phobos in images captured by the Emirates ...
