The Bemmies ain't going to like that.
Not a NASA website. Believed to, would have, likely. This is not an article of facts. It is speculation. Postulating a complex sequence of events and creating a computer simulation to demonstrate how it is possible for that sequence of events to have actually occurred. This is not science. If a body flew by Mars and was broken into pieces then became more pieces and then a ring which has since disappeared and now only two tiny pieces are left, it’s too much explanation than necessary.
Diemos and Phobos were most likely captured from the asteroid belt which is kind of close to Mars and has lots of asteroids in the size range of Mars’ moons. This is the result of a study made by me using the computing power of a human brain and repeating similar studies done by large numbers of other human brains.
Saturns rings are “raining” down on Saturn. They are decaying. The rings on Mars may have suffered the same fate instead of clumping together.
Why does entropy cause everything to fall apart, except when planet or moon building?
It’s as good a theory as any. Most of the dust that makes up the Zodiacal Light is thought to have originated from mars, and a captured asteroid breaking up in Mars’ orbit would explain that.
I was told that those two moons are spacecraft that were fashioned from asteroids. They were used to bring about 1/2 of the Palladian ancestors to Mars. It is true, somebody told me that.
The truth is they are just guessing.
