Phobos is one of the moons of Mars, it means the chariot of fear (or panic, I'm not sure), and is very small, about 20km diameter...and in all probablity it is a captured asteroid.

I like the picture because the shadows look really good from that angle.

Total Posts: 1892 | Okay, now heres something else you have to guess what it is (If you live near a large body of water connecting 2 or more citys, then you probably know what they are). I took these pictures yesterday, and sorry about the quailty, I forgot to charge the battery on my camera (plus the fact I didn't know someone changed the resolution to crappy).

My guesses for the 2nd and 3rd pic are a bit fuzzy, but I think I hit Pic 1 on the nose. |

Picture One is the ferry kleetan, which was just docked to be overhauled about 2 hours before that picture was taken (Note the paint job, it looks rather crappy).
Picture Two is a good shot of a ferry (I really like ferry's). On puget sound, the land in the background is brainbridge island (Home of the stuck-up 'We don't like subway' people. (True Story))
Picture Three is the docking slip in bremerton, (Home of the Carl Vinsion, right now). Which the ferry I'm on docked in about 4 minutes.
I think the people on-board got a little worried when I took 100+ pictures of the Navy Ship yard... :-) |
