Phobos in Stereo
Two views of the small Martian moon Phobos, taken 10 minutes apart by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, are combined to produce this stereo view of Phobos.
-
Phobos from 6,800 Kilometers
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was about 4,200 miles from Phobos, the smaller of the two moons of Mars, when the orbiter's high-resolution camera took this image of the moon.
-
Phobos from 5,800 Kilometers
One of two images that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took of the Martian moon Phobos on March 23, 2008, this view was captured from about 3,600 miles away from the moon.
-
Phobos from 6,800 Kilometers (Color)
The largest feature on the Martian moon Phobos is the crater named Stickney, with is about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) in diameter, in the lower right of this image taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
-
Phobos from 5,800 Kilometers (Color)
Combining exposures taken in blue-green, red and near-infrared light yields this color image of the Martian moon Phobos, in which the bluer material around the edge of the largest crater may be some of the most freshly exposed surface of the small moon.
-
'Marsshine' on Shadowed Part of Phobos
In this image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, craters on part of the surface of the Martian moon Phobos that is shaded from direct sunlight are visible because the moon also is illuminated by sunlight reflected off Mars, or "Marsshine."
