Deimos: A Small Martian Moon
Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. This picture shows Deimos, the smaller of the two, and one of the smallest known moons in the solar system, measuring only 9 miles across. Asaph Hall discovered Deimos in 1877, though Johannes Kepler had predicted the existence of Martian moons around 1610.
