What a life this moon has had! It isn't even round.

This is a NASA shot, taken from Mars orbit.From memory, Phobos is around 20km diameter, greatest axis.

Sure isn't round! When you look at this thing- the size of the crater stands out. Plus the lines running along the visible hemisphere. It looks like a geological old potato!
