Yes Phil but your stack doesn't show Phobos moving Stickney-first, like a cosmic sandworm, as in the animation. Mnahm-mnahm-mnahm

I'm not really clever enough to do that sort of thing.

Wow, what an old thread. Seeing that it began just as Cassini was beginning to image some of Saturn's small, irregular moons, I might chime in, nearly two decades later, that Phobos and Deimos and Saturn's small moons show some signs of superficial similarity. They're in the same size class and show signs of accumulated material mantling to various depth whatever crust might be down there. Telesto and Deimos, to cite one unlikely pair, have a superficially similar appearance, Telesto being just about double the size of Deimos. Presumably, there's more ice in the composition of the saturnian members of this set. Maybe Adrastea and Metis would also merit comparison, if we had images of comparable quality.
