Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - The Emirati "Probe of Hope" was able to capture a set of pictures that were described as the first of their kind with such closeness and clarity of the Mars moon "Deimos" after a series of maneuvers carried out by the probe around the moon.

 

The Emirati “Hope Probe” began maneuvers to obtain these images of the “Deimos” moon since the beginning of the world in 2023, and on March 10, 2023, the EXI digital exploration camera was able to obtain 27 images of the “Deimos” moon within 25 minutes and from a close distance.

 

The moon "Deimos" is distinguished by its irregular shape, which appears high in the Antarctic region, and this is likely due to its collision with a small asteroid in the past, and the moon "Deimos" completes a full cycle around Mars every 30 minutes, during which it travels 23,500 km.
