                           Astronomy Picture of the Day   
      
       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

                                   Stereo Phobos   
        Image Credit: G. Neukum (FU Berlin) et al., Mars Express, DLR, ESA   
      
      Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and float next to Phobos,   
      grooved moon of Mars! Captured in 2004 by the High Resolution Stereo   
      Camera on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, the image data was   
      recorded at a distance of about 200 kilometers from the martian moon.   
      This tantalizing stereo anaglyph view shows the Mars-facing side of   
      Phobos. It highlights the asteroid-like moon's cratered and grooved   
      surface. Up to hundreds of meters wide, the mysterious grooves may be   
      related to the impact that created Stickney crater, the large crater at   
      the left. Stickney crater is about 10 kilometers across, while Phobos   
      itself is only around 27 kilometers across at its widest point.
