Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos. They are only a few miles across. They may be asteroids captured by the planet. These moons are much closer to Mars than our Moon is to Earth, so they go around the planet much faster. This meteorite was found on Earth in Antarctica.
Astronomers think it came from Mars after a giant asteroid or comet smashed into that planet.
Some scientists think there are fossils of very old Martian life inside a meteorite like this one. Not everyone agrees this is right. To find out for sure we need to go to Mars to test more rocks. Go Back to the Solar System. Go Back to Venus.
