CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—A spacecraft around Mars has sent back the most detailed photos yet of the red planet’s little moon.
The United Arab Emirates’ Amal spacecraft flew within 62 miles (100 kilometers) of Deimos last month and the close-up shots were released Monday. Amal—Arabic for Hope—got a two-for-one when Mars photobombed some of the images. It was the closest a spacecraft has been to Deimos in almost a half-century.
