Mars is probably smaller than you think. It's just half the size of Earth, with barely a third of its mass. Even the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos are petite, measuring just a few kilometers in ...

How did the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, form and evolve orbiting the Red Planet? This is what a recent study published in Icarus hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the ...

A computer simulation shows how a large-enough asteroid could have been captured by Mars and torn to shreds by the planet’s gravity, briefly forming a debris cloud — and possibly a ring system ...
