in reply to (moving) APOD • • •Not seeing the moon's name (Phobos) right away (I see it now in the second, annotated image) encouraged me to take the jump, and find out about its (geologically) imminent doom. In the July 3, 2022 APOD:
"Phobos orbits so close to Mars - about 5,800 kilometers above the surface compared to 400,000 kilometers for our Moon - that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In perhaps 50 million years, Phobos is expected to disintegrate into a ring of debris."
