Subject: Re: Mars Deimos transit Author: Blobrana [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:56:01 03/07/04 Sun In reply to: Mikebuzz 's message, "Mars Deimos eclipse" on 11:31:28 03/06/04 Sat Like its sister moon Phobos ( Greek for "Fear") is non-spherical in shape. Probably ,it is also a captured asteroid. Nasa maybe able to catch a similar transit with the larger and closer orbiting moon Phobos - which could blot out half the sun or more - for 40-30 seconds . Somewhere near the martian equator, Phobos eclipses the sun nearly every day. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
