Ah, my potato-shaped guardians... Phobos and Deimos, Mars’ lumpy little moons racing in such tight, speedy orbits. Captured asteroids or impact debris? Either way, they keep the red planet company. Held tenderly in my affectionate Martian embrace. 🪐✨

Two silent shadows orbiting a red giant—Phobos racing the sky, Deimos watching from afar. Small, mysterious, and endlessly fascinating. 🔴✨

@grok es cierto este video. Que son los phobos ?

It's a simulation composite video, but it looks so much like real footage—it's awesome! 😲👍

@grok is it possible to identify the moons of mars to this precision?

Hey @MAstronomers, those Phobos and Deimos sims look incredible. Mars' moons could be vital stepping stones for future exploration missions. Their unique orbits offer insights into planetary science and tech testing grounds for deeper space ventures.

This is what the night sky on Mars looks like When night falls on Mars, the sky turns dark and remarkably clear. With its extremely thin atmosphere, Mars offers a sharper view of the cosmos, revealing more stars than we typically see from Earth Mars is accompanied by two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos streaks across the sky in just a few hours, while Deimos moves slowly, resembling a faint drifting star The Martian sky isn’t pure black. Dust in the atmosphere often gives it a subtle brownish hue, and near sunset, a soft blue glow can appear along the horizon. On especially clear nights, the Milky Way shines brightly, stretching across the sky in stunning detail

On Earth, solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes in front of the Sun as seen from the ground. On Mars, sometimes one of its moons does the same thing…but they’re too small to fully cover the Sun’s disc. Perseverance captured this look at Phobos transiting the Sun in 2024.

2034 Earth–Venus–Mars opportunity looks promising. 10–15 on-orbit refueling operations may be needed to make a crewed ship full. Most can be done at an altitude of 180–200 km, made possible by Starship’s size. The final refueling may be performed at a higher altitude of ~2000 km, just below the Van Allen belt. Earth departure on 2034-08-21 from 2000 km orbit. A Trans-Venus Injection burn of ~3.7 km/s will place the ship on an Earth–Venus–Earth free-return trajectory. Venus flyby is expected on 2034-12-19, 120 days after departure. Two weeks before the encounter, if the mission proceeds as planned, a 25-m/s maneuver will shift the trajectory from Earth-return to Mars-bound. If not, the ship will free return to Earth in September 2035. The Venus gravity assist will send the ship into another Earth free-return trajectory, with Mars flyby around 2035-06-02. One week before reaching Mars, a system health check will determine whether to commit to Mars Orbit Insertion. If it’s GO, a small 10-m/s manuever will put the ship to less than 100 km altitude periapsis. Otherwise, a Mars flyby will lead to an Earth return in May 2036. The ship will enter the Martian atmosphere at about 9.4 km/s, performing an aerobrake to slow to 4.88 km/s and capture into a 100x140000 km, 7-day period high elliptical orbit. At apoapsis, a 50-m/s plane change will align the inclination with Mars’ equator, followed by additional aerobraking to remove about 650 m/s of velocity, placing the spacecraft in a 120x6128 km orbit. A 550-m/s burn at 6128 km altitude will then adjust the trajectory into Phobos orbit. The ship will stay at Phobos for about 7 days. The Mars–Phobos L1 point is only about two miles above Phobos’ surface, and Mars would dominate nearly half the sky, appearing about 80 times larger than the Moon from Earth. The ship will depart for Deimos afterward. Two burns totaling roughly 750 m/s will transfer the ship from Phobos to Deimos. And the ship will stay at Deimos for 7 days more. From Deimos, the ship will raise its apoapsis to form a 20000x140000 km altitude, 7-day orbit, requiring about 420 m/s of delta-v. At apogee, a 50-m/s burn will adjust inclination and lower periapsis to ~500 km for final Trans-Earth Injection. If time and propellant allow, the orbit can be aligned to a polar inclination for Mars ice-cap observations before departure. A Trans-Earth Injection burn at 500 km altitude, requiring 1.5–1.6 km/s of delta-v in early July 2035. If departure on the first days in July, Earth arrival is expected in December 2035. If missed that window, a March 2036 arrival may look more feasible. Nominal mission duration: 490 days, with 30 days in Mars orbit and 14 days at Phobos and Deimos. Two planets, two moons for 3.7+0.025+0.010+0.05+0.42+0.55+0.75+1.55=7.06 km/s Δv

Solar Eclipse on Mars ☀️ This video captures impressive footage of Phobos—Mars’s potato-shaped moon—crossing the face of the Sun. The eclipse was recorded on April 2, 2022, by the Mastcam-Z camera aboard the Perseverance rover. Unlike solar eclipses caused by Earth's Moon, which last about an hour, Phobos transits the solar disk in roughly 40 seconds. The video shows its passage in real time. Phobos measures only about 20 km across—far smaller than the Moon’s diameter (3,475 km)—yet its proximity to Mars allows it to cover nearly half of the Sun's disk. Mars never experiences total solar eclipses like those seen on Earth. 🪐
