Mars’ Moons Phobos and Deimos Could Be Asteroid Debris, New Study Reveals
New research proposes that Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos, could have originated from an asteroid torn apart by the planet’s gravity. Simulations show that this shredded asteroid could have formed a ring around Mars, eventually coalescing into the moons. The theory is being tested through the upcoming Mars Moons Exploration mission, which could...

Mars’ Long Lost Moon Could Help Explain Its Extreme Terrain, Claims Study
Mars may have once had a larger moon, possibly named Nerio, which could explain its odd ellipsoidal shape and unique terrain features like the Tharsis bulge and massive volcanoes. Michael Efroimsky, an astronomer at the U.S. Naval Observatory, proposes this idea, although more research is needed to confirm it. The disappearance of this moon might h...
