The Emirates Mars Mission is the nation’s first interplanetary spacecraft, and it’s sending back never-before-seen views of the red planet and its tiny entourage. Now, scientists aren’t so sure, thanks to incredible new images from the United Arab Emirates’ Hope orbiter. That was the suspected origin for the smaller of Mars’ two moons, Deimos. This kind of simultaneous formation is believed to be the origin of most moons, with a smaller portion being captured asteroids. They hang out with their planets because they came up together. And some of those objects even get captured by a planet and become moons.įor the most part, moons are believed to form in the protoplanetary disk, alongside their planets. We are visited, however, by interplanetary objects of all sizes and shapes, all of the time. Things don’t go well for the humans or the aliens, but fortunately, little green men in advanced spaceships don’t often visit our solar system. At the crash site, they find an object buried in the smoldering pit, with astounding extraterrestrial origins.
It follows John Putnam and Ellen Fields, an amateur astronomer and a schoolteacher, respectively, as they witness the crash of a meteorite nearby. Set and released in the 1950s, hot on the heels of a growing public fascination with UFOs, It Came From Outer Space explores what might happen when a small town comes face to face with alien visitors.
