This pic from Oppy made me wonder about Phobos' & Deimos' visual aspects for a hypothetical surface observer using Mark I eyeballs. The image seems to show at least a faint lens flare on the right side from the main image; how bright are the moons from the surface? Also, are at least some surface features on Phobos like Stickney visible?

Probably old questions, probably old territory...but still interesting to contemplate from the rather unique viewpoint of the MERs. smile.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
