Phobos in 3-D

Phobos in 3-D (red-cyan anaglyph).

On 23 July 2008, the High Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA’s Mars Express took the highest-resolution full-disc image yet of the surface of the moon Phobos.

The image data was acquired from a distance of 97 km with a spatial resolution of about 3.7 m/pixel. These images have surpassed all previous images from other missions in continuous coverage of the illuminated surface at the highest spatial resolution of 3.7 m/pixel.
