By comparing the various images, scientists can refine their understanding of the moon’s orbit to learn how it’s changing. Phobos is getting closer to Mars and is predicted to collide with it ...

The image of Earth and Phobos was taken on the 4,295th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's mission. One Martian sol is about 24 hours and 40 minutes, making it slightly longer than a single Earth day.

Sharing the photos of 'space potato', Nasa on Instagram said, "Space potato Phobos is the larger of Mars' two moons—but it's still only about 17 x 14 x 11 miles (27 by 22 by 18 kilometers) in ...

Phobos revolves around Mars three times a day, which means you can see this ‘space potato’ three timesa day on Mars' surface. On the contrary, another Mars moon, Deimos, takes nearly 30 hours ...

As well as this, close-up images of the moons show Phobos has peculiar 1-kilometer (0.6-mile) long grooves running across its surface, as well as being covered in loose regolith (rock and dust).

Previously unpublished photos of Mars' moon Phobos hint that the mysterious satellite may actually be a trapped comet — or perhaps just a piece of one, along with its twin moon Deimos.
