Exploring the Enigmatic Moon Deimos of Mars.

The United Arab Emirates Space Agency (UAESA) has captured the highest resolution images of Mars' moon Deimos to date, revealing that the tiny satellite may not have originated from captured asteroids as previously believed. Instead, observations from the UAE's Hope orbiter suggest that Deimos and its larger counterpart Phobos may have formed from leftover material after Mars' formation or may be chunks of the planet that broke free following an asteroid impact. The mystery surrounding the moons may soon be cleared up as Japan plans to send a probe to study them and retrieve samples from Phobos in the mid-2020s.
