See Mars’ mysterious moon Deimos from just 68 miles away...The first close-ups of the tiny moon suggest we were wrong about its origin.

Both Deimos and Phobos were discovered by an American, Asaph Hall, in 1877, at the US Naval Observatory in Washington, DC.
Phobos is so close to Mars that it orbits the planet in 7 hours and 39 minutes, less than a Martian day, so it rises in the west and sets in the east when viewed from the Martian surface.

It’s great to see them spending their oil billions on something educational and that is not killing their fellow man......................

UAE aren’t usually the ones killing everyone. That’s Saudi’s, Iraqi’s, Iranians.
But, yeah, I just am surprised they have a space agency!
