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

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.

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.

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.

Very little is known about Mars’ two moons, and even less so about Deimos. The closest approach to Deimos was made by the Viking 2 orbiter in 1977, which flew at a distance of 18 miles (30 ...

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.

Amal will continue to sweep past Deimos this year, but not as closely as the March 10 encounter, according to al-Matroushi. NASA's Viking 2 came within 19 miles (30 kilometers) of Deimos in 1977.

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 ...

Deimos, the smaller of Mars’s two moons, may be more like its planet than we realize. New, high-resolution views of the tiny moon were recently captured by a United Arab Emirates spacecraft ...
