3.8 Apod

I chose for my last APOD blog of the quarter a photograph entitled "Phobos from Mars Express". This is because I would love to eat a mars bar right now. Anyways, the picture is pretty cool and looks like a huge rock with holes all over. It is one of Mars's two moons, the other being "deimos". The origin of this moon is unknown, and has an irregular shape as well as numerous strange grooves. Within the next twenty million years, due to Phobos's orbit being so close to mars, the moon will break up into a ring and surround Mars. Cool!
