NASA's rover Curiosity turned its camera skyward recently to record the two tiny Martian moons, Deimos and Phobos, as they moved quickly through the heavens.
Both Deimos and Phobos are thought to be asteroids captured by Mars' gravity. One of them may also see the first human landing in the Martian system. A possible exploration strategy would be to establish a manned base on one of the moons and use that base as the final staging area for the first trip to the surface of Mars.
