Mars’ Moons Phobos and Deimos Could Be Asteroid Debris, New Study Reveals
- Thursday November 21, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...
