[4] The higher density during spring and fall is reduced by 25% during the winter when carbon dioxide partly freezes at the pole caps. [6]
Phobos orbits so fast (with a period of just under one third of a sol) that it rises in the west and sets in the east, and does so twice per sol; Deimos on the other hand rises in the east and sets in the west, but orbits only a few hours slower than a Martian sol, so it spends about two and a half sols above the horizon at a time.

The Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers reports that you can expect it to be around 14.6 arcseconds in size and shine at a magnitude of -1.4, meaning it will outshine every star. (In ...
