Deimos (moon)

Deimos (IPA {{IPA|/?da?m?s/}} or {{IPA|/?di?m?s/}}; Greek Δείμος: "Dread"), is the smaller and outermost of Mars' two moons, named after Deimos from Greek Mythology. The adjectival form of the name is, presumably, Deimian.

Deimos in fiction

• Kim Stanley Robinson's Green Mars (1993) includes a detailed description of a manned landing on Deimos.
• The UESC Marathon of the Marathon computer game series is a hollowed-out Deimos. Deimos' discovery in 1877 coincides with Bungie's tendency to use the number seven often.
