Just plain wow


The United Arab Emirates put a satellite into orbit around Mars, and it's doing what satellites orbiting Mars commonly do, which is take pictures and collect data. 

It happened to zip by the smaller of the two small Martian moons, Deimos, and took some utterly spectacular pictures, reminiscent of the revelatory pictures of Jupiter moons taken by the Vikings and Galileo with Jupiter as a backdrop.

They have a very high "wow" factor.
