Extraordinary picture of Phobos

According to ISRO website, im was captured by Mars Colour Camera (MCC) that is onboard Mars Orbiter Mission. Phobos is believed to be closest and largest moon of Mars. website furr states that im was taken when Mars was roughly 7,200 kilometres away from Orbiter while Phobos was at a distance of 4,200 kilometres. It is a composite im that was pieced toger using 6 MCC frames and has also been colour corrected, ISRO clarified.

As per ISRO, picture makes it evident that Phobos is t strictly spherical in shape and that is because Martian moon has encountered a violent phase in past wherein a large section was lost during a collision. im also highlights some of largest craters on Phobos -- Stickney crater, Shklovsky, Roche and Grildrig craters.
