These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, are Europe’s highest-resolution pictures so far of the Martian moon Phobos. http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM21TVJD1E_0.html |

It certainly is not motion smear, but it does look like it because there is a 'double exposure' effect. Regardless, they are still nice images in other respects, and are being used to improve the shape model of Phobos (The other HRSC images are less useful for that because they are from a scanning rather than framing camera). The top one just above is inside Stickney. These pics come in sets of 4 or 5 making up strips across the surface, and would make nice mosaics.
