Mars, known as the Red Planet, has long fascinated astronomers and space enthusiasts. Its thin atmosphere, dry riverbeds, and towering volcanoes hint at a past with water. Scientists study Mars to uncover its history and the potential for life.
Orbiting Mars are two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, believed to be captured asteroids. These irregularly shaped moons have unusual orbits and may hold clues about the planet’s past. Future missions aim to explore their surfaces for further insights.
