The more distant one, Deimos, 12,500 miles away, required considerably more than one day to make its circuit.
Professor Young's estimate is that Phobos may shed upon Mars one-sixtieth and Deimos one-twelve-hundredth as much reflected moonlight as our moon sends to the earth. Accordingly, a "moonlit night" on Mars can have no such charm as we associate with the phrase.
By hiding behind Deimos we should escape the prying eyes of the Martians, even when they employed telescopes, and thus be able to remain comparatively close at hand, ready to pounce down upon them again after we had obtained, as we now had good hope of doing, information that would make us masters of the situation. On One of Mars' Moons.

Deimos completes a revolution about the planet in thirty hours and eighteen minutes, and Phobos in the astonishingly short period although, of course, it is in strict accord with the law of gravitation and in that sense not astonishing of seven hours and thirty-nine minutes.
The most distant satellite of Mars is known to us as Laster, to which has been given the name of Deimos by the first observers on your Earth.
Indeed, so brilliant was the illumination which fell upon the surface of Deimos that the number of persons who had been permitted to pass around on the exposed side of the satellite was carefully restricted. In the blaze of light which had been suddenly poured upon us we felt somewhat like malefactors unexpectedly enveloped in the illumination of a policeman's dark lantern.

Strong shook his head. "It's fantastic!" "I know it is, gentlemen," said a voice in back of them. "But nevertheless the Ganymede station confirms it." Strong, Walters, and Howard spun around to look into the smiling face of Charley Brett. Before anyone could say anything, the voice of the Deimos operator broke the stunned silence. "Deimos to Titan, I have your information now.
