about

Phobos and Deimos are Mars' two moons; they're both little more than small asteroids and possibly captured from the asteroid belt because of Jupiter's gravitational peturbation at some point in the past.

These two Martian satellites hurtle around their host planet - unlike our own moon, there's no sedate, monthly orbit for this pair. Phobos completes its orbit in a little over seven hours, with Deimos following at a comparatively leisurely thirty hours.

In Greek mythology, Phobos and Deimos were the sons of Ares, the god of war - Phobos means "fear" and Deimos means "terror"...not much left to the imagination there (add in their sister, Eris - or "strife", which is how the name translates - and you sort of get the picture that the ancient Greeks were trying to paint).

They also drove Ares's chariot and it was this, along with the moons' frenetic speed around Mars, which led to the nature of the track.
