PHOBOS: MALFUNCTION OR EARLY "STAR WARS" INCIDENT?
Phobos, one of the two moons of Mars, has itself always been considered
a rather mysterious object, as has its smaller twin,Deimos. Joseph Shklovskii
noted member of the Soviet Academy of science and co-writer with Dr Carl
Sagan of 'Intelligent life in the universe', once calculated from the estimated
density of the Martian atmosphere and the peculiar "acceleration" of Phobos,
that the satellite must be hollow. Could Phobos be a hollowed-out space station
of huge proportions? |
