This picture shows six different orientations of Phobos. The images were rendered by using Peter C. Thomas' model and the USGS airbrush map of Phobos.
Note: Although the suggested format for mapping nonspherical bodies is as shown below, most bodies in the solar system have their longer axis directed towards their parent body and in order to decrease the vertical size of this image, a different set of orientations have been used.
