EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the enigmatic Martian moon, Phobos. With its irregular shape and rocky surface, this small celestial body measures 19x21x27 kilometers. Orbiting at a distance of 9400 kilometers above Mars, it completes an orbit in just over 7.6 hours. The focal point of this image is the impressive Stickney Crater, located in the lower left quadrant. Spanning a diameter of 10 kilometers, this crater adds to the moon's mystique and serves as a reminder of the violent cosmic forces that have shaped our solar system. Mars itself provides a stunning backdrop for Phobos' ethereal glow. As the fourth planet from the Sun, Mars boasts an arid desert landscape with a thin atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Its diameter spans approximately 6800 kilometers. Drifting gracefully through space, Phobos offers astronomers and planetary scientists valuable insights into our neighboring red planet. This mesmerizing illustration captures both its delicate beauty and scientific significance. Created by Dr. Christian Koch from MicroChemicals for Science Photo Library, this print invites us to marvel at the wonders of our solar system while igniting curiosity about these distant worlds beyond Earth's reach.
