Well, it won't smile. But imaged at 60 miles, Mars' moon Deimos is showing us its pockmarked face.
Turns out it's made of the same material as Mars, indicating it was knocked off during planetary formation rather than being a stray asteroid.
It's also nice to see good space science being done by somebody who isn't the U.S., the Chinese, or ESA...the Hope mission that took the images was launched by the United Arab Emirates.
