Deimos is a captured rocky asteroid only 12 kilometers in average diameter.
Smaller than Phobos, Mars other satellite, it
orbits much farther away from the planet with a period of 30 hours. Its rotation is synchonized
with its orbital motion so that keeps nearly the same face toward Mars.
Curiosity rover captured a sequence of images of Phobos passing in front of Deimos in this
video from NASA.
