Phobos is one of the two moons that revolve around Mars. It’s a lumpy, crater-filled pile of rubble that measures only 10 by 14 by 11 miles (17 by 22 by 18 km). Phobos also orbits closer to Mars than its smaller counterpart, Deimos , at an altitude of only 3,700 miles (6,000 kilometers). This photo was taken by the High-Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA’s Mars Express in Jan. 2008. Read our full story here: Weird Grooves On Mars’ Moon Phobos Traced to Asteroids
