Wired.com has an awesome pic of the Martian Moon, from the article:
The sharpest images yet taken by the Mars Express spacecraft of Mars’ tiny moon Phobos reveal features as small as 14.5 feet across, the European Space Agency announced March 15.
The Mars Express flybys, which happen every five months, may also determine if Phobos is a fragile pile of rocky fragments stuck together — what planetary scientists refer to as a rubble pile — or solid through and through, says Mars Express scientist Gerhard Neukum of the Free University of Berlin.
Science fiction movies and television make it look so easy to travel about in space when in reality it is very difficult and impressive the strides we have made. I just wish as much money were spent on space studies vs. war and weapons. Maybe one day......
