NASA first captured the image of Mars 'full moon'
For the first time, the spacecraft orbits the Mars Odyssey orbit of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) that captured the full moon image from Mars's Phobos Moon.
Xinhua News Agency said on May 12 that photos of the full moon on Mars show three rainbow-colored spots like candies.

Scientists begin observing the full moon cycle from September 2017 to learn about the ingredients that make up Phobos - the larger of the two moons of Mars.
The color range, determined by the Odyssey infrared camera, represents the temperature scale.
The Odyssey is the longest operating space ship on NASA's Mars orbit, equipped with a thermal camera that detects changes in Phobos' surface temperature as the moon orbits Mars every 7 hours.
"This new image is a form of temperature circle - the warmest in the middle and gradually colder outside," said scientist Jeffrey Plaut, responsible for the Odyssey project at NASA.

On April 24, the Odyssey camera recorded the best image of Phobos when the Sun was behind the spacecraft, well supporting the study of the moon's constituent components of Mars.
Data on how iron and nickel have been mixed with other minerals can help NASA scientists determine whether Phobos is a meteorite trapped by the gravitational pull of Mars or a fragment from onions. Red crystal.
The global aerospace industry community is also discussing the potential of people to explore Phobos in the near future.
Determining the risks of landing as well as the environment on Phobos can support the missions to land on this Moon surface in the future.
