real real nice - and more craters
Hi raoul -
looks like Phobos has its own impact history, just like the larger asteroids themselves -
If I remember right, based on spectral data it was speculated that Phobos was a captured comet, while Deimos was a cpatured asteroid. This impact history for Phobos shoud result in throwing some light on that, as well as the time of Phobos' capture by Mars.
All in all, a very nice piece of work by the MGS team - better than some of that which we've seen form them earlier. Perhaps some of the folks from Galileo have found new employ with MGS...
we have a lot to look forward to...
