IMAGE number: PIX4617115
Image title: Mars: Phobos breaks apart - Illustration - Phobos breaking up to form ring - Illustration - Artist's view of Phobos, the largest of Mars's two satellites, which due to its proximity to the planet Mars will break in 20 to 50 million years. The larger pieces will crush on Mars, forming new crateres, but the smaller ones and the dust should remain in suspension, in orbit and leave all around Mars to form a ring. Phobos, one of Mars' moons, is getting closer to the planet and in several million years Phobos will break apart upon reaching the Roche limit, and become a set of rings
