Small celestial body Deimos is one of two moons orbiting Mars and has a diameter of just 12 kilometers war recorded on video by Perseverance Mars Rover. Its high-resolution onboard camera Mastcam-z recorded Deimos as a tiny spot moving across the screen while observing Martian cloud formations. The footage uncovers the fascinating rotation of Deimos over time, as it rotates synchronously with its orbit around Mars. This rotation is due to the tidal forces exerted on the moon by Mars. Over time, these forces have caused Deimos' rotation to synchronize with its orbit, meaning that the same side of the moon always faces Mars. This is known as tidal locking, a phenomenon that is common among moons in the solar system. To better understand how Perseverance captured this remarkable footage, I created a 3D reconstruction of the process. The ongoing exploration of Mars is helping us to learn more about this fascinating planet and its neighboring celestial bodies. Animation of Neptune in this video created by iGadgetPro.
