Скачать или смотреть [Myth-meets-science] Phobos: The Moon of Fear and the Courage to Face It

From Greek myths of fear to Mars’s racing moon — discover how Phobos teaches us that bravery begins where fear lives.

Today’s episode takes us into the shadowy, exciting world of Phobos — the Greek god of fear. 👀

In ancient myths, Phobos rode into battle beside his father Ares, spreading fear and panic among warriors. But behind the thunder of hooves and clash of armor, there’s a deeper truth — even the bravest heroes felt fear. Phobos wasn’t just a monster to run from. He was a reminder that courage only exists when we face fear.

Then we turn our telescope skyward — all the way to Mars, the red planet named after Ares himself. Circling Mars are two small moons: Phobos and Deimos, named after the twin sons of the god of war.

Phobos, the larger one, isn’t round like our moon. It’s small and lumpy — more like a space potato! 🥔 It zooms around Mars three times a day, racing across the Martian sky so fast that scientists say one day it might break apart and form a ring around Mars.

Isn’t that amazing? A myth about fear… and a moon that lives on the edge of destruction.

So whether it’s ancient warriors facing battle or astronauts preparing for deep space, the message stays the same:

Bravery isn’t about having no fear — it’s about moving forward even when Phobos whispers, “Be careful.”
