Mars
Viking 2 Orbiter view of the Martian satellite Deimos taken from 500 km distance. North is up in this image, and Deimos is about 8 km across at its widest part. This view shows the northern quarter of Deimos at approximately the Mars facing side. Note the smoother appearance of the craters, caused by partial burial in regolith. (Viking Orbiter 428B61)
