Scientists Challenge Assumptions About Mars' Moon

Scientists from France and Germany propose that Mars' moon Phobos may have originated from a comet, challenging previous theories about its formation. This hypothesis is based on data from the Mars Express spacecraft, which shows Phobos has properties similar to comets. The upcoming Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission by Japan aims to study Phobos and Deimos further, potentially uncovering their true origins.
