Stereo Phobos
Get out your red/blue glasses
and float next to Phobos,
grooved
moon of Mars!
Also featured in yesterday's episode,
the image data from the
Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera was
recorded at a distance of about 200 kilometers.
This tantalizing
stereo anaglyph view
shows the Mars-facing side of the
asteroid-like moon's cratered and
grooved surface.
Up to hundreds of meters wide,
the mysterious grooves
may be fractures related to the impact which created
10 kilometer wide
Stickney
crater, the large crater at the left.
