| Phobos - captured asteroid and largest Martian Moon orbiting above the surface of Mars |
The Martian Moons, Phobos and Deimos are extremely small and are believed to be captured asteroids. They are too small to be seen using earth based telescopes. The images were taken by the Mars Express Spacecraft. I downloaded the data sets from the PDS Cartography and Imaging Sciences Node and then manipulated the data using software to accentuate the detail and visual impact.
