NASA Discovers One Of Mars’ Moons Is Facing Destruction

NASA researchers have determined Mars’ moon Phobos is facing destruction.
NASA researchers have determined that one of the moons in our solar system is facing destruction.
The lunar orb placed on the critical list is Phobos, one of Mars’ two natural satellites.
They believe the moon only has between 30 million and 50 million years of existence left and will ultimately succumb to structural failure.
Scientists say the most telling signs of Phobos’ unfortunate fate are the long indentations extending across the surface.
The grooves were initially believed to be the aftermath of an especially brutal hit, but researchers later observed their apparent point of origin didn’t match up with the impact site.
Just recently, a team concluded
