Here is an image of Phobos from Maven. The source is this press release from many months ago - I just noticed it had not been noted here.
http://mars.nasa.gov/news/whatsnew/index.c...amp;NewsID=1893 I just added some different processing of my own. I have inverted it from the published format because I think it is the northern hemisphere which is illuminated (Phobos having seasons just like those of Mars). The background is UV photons scattered by the gas molecules escaping from Mars. Phil EDIT: I have found that this image should be flipped left-right. The northern hemisphere is illuminated, and this view is from quite far south with the upper limb near the equator at about 90 degrees east. -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
