Phobos Memes

Congratulations! You've discovered why astronomers have trust issues. This "3D stereogram" of Mars is just two identical images placed side by side, and that's definitely not Phobos - it's just Mars with what appears to be a nipple. Cosmic anatomy was never covered in my astrophysics textbooks. Twenty years studying celestial bodies, and now I can't unsee Mars as a celestial body part. NASA's budget must've been really tight the day they decided "let's just slap two identical photos together and call it 3D." Next week: Saturn's rings reimagined as a cosmic hula hoop!

Earth just got cosmically trolled! Mars' moon Phobos created an eclipse that looks like a smiley face staring back at us. Meanwhile, Earth's eclipses are just boring circles. Even in space, Mars is throwing shade—literally! The universe has a sense of humor, and apparently it's saying "have a nice day" while we're over here with our fancy total eclipses thinking we're special. Cosmic humbling at its finest!
