Deimos
Mars' Moons
Phobos
Mars has two moons, called Phobos and Deimos
Deimos and Phobos are both named after the sons of The God of War, Ares. Deimos meaning: rout, and Phobos meaning: fear; they were discovered by an American astronomer, called Asaph Hall in 1877.
The shape of Deimos and Phobos is irregular because they have a lack of gravitational force to shape their structure into A spherical form, compared to Earth's moon. In contrast to Earth's moon, they are also small-scaled and are made of carbon-rich rock and ice, covered in loose rocks and dust.
Phobos' widest measurement is approximately 17 miles/27 km; Deimos' widest measurement is approximately 9 /15 km.
It is speculated that within 50 million years, Phobos will either crash onto the martian surface or form a ring of debris around Mars after it has broken down.
