"Phobos: The Enigmatic Moon of Mars"

Mars' moon Phobos, despite its small size and unclear origins, captivates scientists and enthusiasts alike. High-resolution images from ESA's Mars Express Orbiter have provided detailed views of Phobos, including its largest crater, Stickney, and surface grooves. These images have advanced our understanding but haven't resolved all mysteries. The upcoming JAXA MMX mission, set to launch in 2026, aims to further explore Phobos and Deimos, potentially returning samples by 2031 to shed light on their origins.
