UAE's Hope Probe Captures Unprecedented Images of Mars' Mysterious Moon Deimos

TL;DR Summary
The UAE's Hope probe, which has been orbiting Mars for over two years, has revealed new insights about the planet's atmosphere and has now provided new clues about Mars' moon Deimos. Recent observations suggest that Deimos may have once been a part of Mars itself, rather than a captured asteroid as previously thought. The Hope probe's close flybys of Deimos revealed that its composition is similar to that of Mars, suggesting that it may have formed following a large impact on the planet that separated a chunk of it and catapulted it into orbit.
