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.

I am just starting a new photomosaic map of Phobos, using the best modern images. Positional control will be from the Viking mosaic made by Damon Simonelli, Peter Thomas et al. at Cornell in the 1990s, but this will be 3x the resolution and using much better images. I'll post sections of it as they are completed, in a new thread. Maybe it will help the groove origin discussion, though I'm doing it for other reasons.
