All eyes on Phobos...

today, one of the two moons of Mars, at least by the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter (click image for high-res version). The spacecraft will swing by the diminutive moon at a distance of only 67 km and train its cameras and instruments on the object. Follow the science on the Mars Express Blog.

Deimos must be feeling left out.

UPDATE: Success.
