Mars May Get Rings Again as Moon Phobos Breaks Apart | WION Podcast

Mars could become the fifth planet with rings in 50–70 million years, thanks to its moon Phobos. Phobos is gradually spiraling toward Mars at six feet per century. Once it reaches the Roche limit, Mars’ gravity will likely tear it apart, forming a ring from the debris. This isn’t new—scientists believe Mars has gone through this cycle multiple times, with Phobos reforming smaller after each breakup. The red planet’s other moon, Deimos, is too distant and stable to face the same fate. These findings hint at the dynamic history of Mars’ skies.
