DEIMOS

Deimos — amateur astrophotography by Solar System Today

Measuring only 15x12.2x10.4Km and orbiting Mars from a distance of 23.46Km Deimos takes about 30.3 Earth hours to complete one full orbit of its Parent Planet.

It is believed that Deimos will eventually leave the gravitational pull and drift away in space.
