Anyone who’s played Doom knows that this can’t be good.

Deimos and Phobos were discovered by an American, Asaph Hall (1829-1907), in August 1877 in the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
To: Kartographer
Have you got the Phobos to prove it?

I just made it up. Why, was it in a movie or something?

The calc'd low density, small size, and puzzling unknown origin of Mars' moons led the great pillock Carl Sagan to suggest that they could be artificial bodies left by some exobiological entities.
I'm inclined to a natural explanation.
Phobos is slowly headed toward the Martian surface, and in a mere 50 million years will crash into Mars, after it reaches its Roche point and turns to rubble. That means that a capture origin is most likely.
How and when capture occurred is yet to be determined.
Deimos is something like 1/7th the mass of Phobos and in the ballpark of four times further from Mars' surface, and thanks to our friend, the tidal transfer of momentum, is in the process of escape.

You’re right, a topic is useless without Phobos.

I hate when they leave the lights on.

It isn’t a moon, it’s Marvin the Martian’s spaceship...

Hmm. Phobos makes the news during the "scratch 'n sniff" administration?
This turned out to be rather prescient...
