NASA: Mars Might Have Ripped Apart Asteroid to Build Its Moons
Deep beneath Greenland's ice, NASA radar happened upon Camp Century, a long-lost Cold War base now buried under 100 feet of ice, containing radioactive and toxic waste that could resurface as climate change threatens to destabilize the area.
Mars may have made its 2 moons by ripping an asteroid apart
Computer simulations suggest that Mars' puzzling moons, Phobos and Deimos, may have been formed from debris created when a large asteroid wandered dangerously close to the Red Planet.
How Did Mars Get Its Moons? NASA Study Sheds More Light On Their Mysterious Origin
To uncover the truth about the origins of these moons, scientists are looking forward to the Mars Moons eXploration (MMX) mission by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Scheduled to launch in 2026, this mission will study both moons up close and even bring back samples from Phobos to Earth.
Mars moons may have been a part of something much bigger
In 2026, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency plans to launch the Mars Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, aiming to explore the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos and return samples from Phobos to Earth.
The Moons of Mars May Actually Be Fragments of Something Much Bigger
This is consistent with the idea that the Martian moons were asteroids captured by Mars in its early history. The problem with this idea is that Mars is a small planet with less gravitational pull than Earth or Venus,
