A single asteroid impact may explain both Deimos’ huge south-polar depression and the thick blanket of debris covering the Martian moon. Simulations point to a roughly 320-meter asteroid striking at ...
Deimos, the smaller and outermost of Mars' two moons, is roughly oval in shape and has a deep depression at its south pole.
A single asteroid strike likely reshaped Mars’ moon Deimos, creating its massive polar crater and a global dust layer.
A new study in Acta Astronautica identifies two ultra-fast Earth–Mars–Earth trajectories for the 2031 Mars opposition, including a 56-day outbound trip. The routes were found by using early orbital ...
A NASA spacecraft bound for an unusual metallic asteroid recently made a strategic flyby of Mars — and its cameras captured a rare perspective of the red planet along the way. The Psyche mission, ...
