Scientists studying a Martian meteorite have uncovered hidden structures of Mars, providing valuable insights into the planet's composition. The discovery suggests that Mars' moons could have originated as comets, according to astronomers. Newly analyzed photos of Mars' moon Phobos indicate it may have been a captured comet, showing similarities in surface characteristics to comets.
ESA's Mars Express captured a stunning image of Phobos, Mars' Mars’ largest moon. Phobos, which orbits Mars closer than any other moon to its planet in our solar system, is gradually spiraling inward and may eventually crash into Mars or break apart to form a ring. NASA https://t.co/DfClUjojKu
Newly analyzed photos of Mars' moon Phobos suggest it may be a captured comet. Previously unpublished img from the Mars Express spacecraft revealed Phobos's surface characteristics, such as its brightness & porous nature, resembling those of comets. https://t.co/LiLQw6HK0m
