The folks from

UnmannedSpaceflight.com

have been busy working on the

new images of Phobos returned by Mars Express

. Above, is an animation created by Daniel Machácek, who also colorized the images and processed them through some morphing software to make a seamless animation (via

Emily Lakdawalla from the Planetary Blog

), and below is another morphing animation by Daniel Brennan (via the Mars Express Blog)
