Revisiting the Phobos images:
http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=5511 This is a very nice comparison of the apparent sizes of Phobos, Deimos and our Moon seen from their respective planets... but check the caption: "The size-comparison image of Earth's moon, on the right, is also oriented with north up." Sorry, JPL buddies, but not so - this looks like a distant Galileo encounter 2 image, and the north pole is at right, pretty much at the middle of the terminator - it's almost looking down on the pole. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
