the martian moon phobos.


by The Uni-Hacker on Apr.12, 2008, under Misc

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter used its High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera to take the highest resolution images of the Martian moon Phobos. Scientists think the moon could be full of ice and water.

Look at the shape of this moon! The left side shows a large chunk taken out, possible from a comet or collision of some kind. It reminds me of the death star in star wars. There are a lot of large creators as you can see from years of cosmic collisions. Better yet, this actually looks very similar to an asteroid in the game EVE Online.
