Phobos is one of the two moons of Mars.Phobos is generally thought to be an asteroid orbiting Mars. Phobos is also the Innermost Satellite orbiting…
Habex is a space telescope designed to detect terrestrial orbits around bright stars. (Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission-HabEx). Habex is looking for stars as bright as the sun. Planets in their habitable zone and the presence of water and methane on such planets will be examined. Water and methane are signs of life. Water is the…
