The mystery of how Mars acquired its moons, Phobos and Deimos, may start to be unravelled in 2026 with the launch of a spacecraft that will eventually bring a chunk of Phobos back to Earth.

“We are sure about the origin of the Earth’s moon, but we don’t know how Phobos an Deimos got there,” says Emelia Branagan-Harris at the Natural History Museum in London. “Understanding the origins of Phobos and Deimos, and how they came to be orbiting Mars, can hopefully tell us a bit about the evolution of Mars in general and its history.”

But only evolutionists know how the moon got its present shape, in the book of Genesis,  God had made the lesser  light or the moon so that Adam could look at it.

Evoltionists think that the origins of Phopos and Deimos took place somewhere we do not know.
