Episode 148 Mars has two tiny potato-shaped moons that may be captured asteroids. Last month, Perseverance turned the zoom lens of its color camera toward the Sun in time to capture video of Deimos passing in front of it.

    Potato-shaped??? I’d like to see Mars Guy’s figure after a few billion years…

    Please. Some respect here for these two well-accreted ellipsoids with a few extra tera-tons. If you people want to swipe left on something, you can go straight to the Belt with all those charisma-free rubble piles and old boulder-faces. Sure, they’ve got the organic matter and the metals, but we’ll see who you come running back to when you remember who’s been lighting up every romantic Martian evening for all these eons…

    That’s a big potato.
