Mars, where we have already sent many vehicles and where we will send people in the coming years, Phobos and Deimos It has two satellites. These two potato-shaped moons, which are not known to be an asteroid or a piece of Mars, have puzzled scientists for many years.

Now a brand new photo of Deimos has been taken. The image, which gives researchers information about the moon’s formation and other details, is the only image of Deimos to date. clearest picture was also included.

Here’s the clearest image ever of Deimos, taken just 100 kilometers away

Sent for the Mars mission in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Hope probewas sent into space in 2020 and reached the Red Planet in 2021. The vehicle has been studying the planet ever since. Last summer, however, he turned his attention to the Martian moon Deimos. Some flights were also made by the probe to the satellite. almost 100 kilometers as long as.

The probe’s proximity to Deimos allowed scientists to use the onboard instruments to scan the satellite. The most detailed image ever let him reach. By Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai shared The photo brings together Deimos and Mars, creating a visual feast.

In addition, let’s assume that Deimos, with a diameter of 12.4 kilometers, orbits Mars every 30.3 hours, while the photo reinforces the theory that Deimos may be an asteroid trapped in Mars’ orbit rather than part of the planet.

Details of the results of short flights to the satellite by the United Arab Emirates space probe will be shared tomorrow at the conference of the European Geophysical Union.
