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.

Isn't it funny how you expect everything to be round, but when its not it comes as a shock

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!
