The Lunar Reconnoissance Orbiter team collected the most artistic, abstract data from the Moon, and I’m loving it. This is true Moon Art, loaded with science.

The origins of Mars's moons have long puzzled scientists. Two main hypotheses have been proposed: that Phobos and Deimos are captured asteroids or that they formed from debris created by a massive ...

Mars’ moons could be the remains of an ill-starred asteroid that got too close to the Red Planet. A shredded asteroid origin could help explain mysterious features of the small, odd-shaped moons ...

Computer simulations suggest that Mars' puzzling moons, Phobos and Deimos, may have been formed from debris created when a large asteroid wandered dangerously close to the Red Planet.

Mars’s moons Phobos and Deimos are likely to have been formed from the debris created at the time when a large asteroid wandered dangerously close to it, as per the suggestion by computer ...

A space probe named Hera captured images of Mars' small Deimos moon while on a mission to examine an asteroid.

New high-resolution images of tiny Deimos taken by an Emirati orbiter suggest that it may not be the captured asteroid that scientists once said it was.

The two moons of Mars may once have been a single comet that was ensnared and split by the planet – and an upcoming mission could find out for certain.

A new study has revealed that the weird parallel grooves on the surface of Mars' largest moon Phobos could be a sign that the Red Planet's gravity is ripping the satellite apart.

The origins of Mars’s moons Phobos and Deimos have long been an enigma, but they may have been formed when a icy, comet-like object slammed into the Red Planet ...

The two small moons of Mars, Phobos (about 22km in diameter) and Deimos (about 13km in diameter), have been puzzling scientists for decades, with their origin remaining a matter of debate. Some have ...

Phobos and Deimos may have formed following a collision between Mars and an object the size of asteroid Ceres. A new model suggests ejecta from the event lead to the creation of the two moons.
