Phobos from Mars Express
This image from ESA's Mars Express shows Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons. The origin of Phobos is still a mystery, as it resembles C-type asteroids but its orbit makes a capture scenario unlikely. The image reveals Phobos' irregular shape and heavily cratered surface in great detail.
