Japan is set to launch an unmanned space probe, MMX (Martian Moons eXploration), on October 20 to collect and return samples from Phobos, one of Mars' moons. The mission aims to bring these samples back to Earth.

A physicist has proposed that a mysterious, rectangular rock formation on Phobos, one of Mars' moons, should be thoroughly examined. The object, dubbed a 'monolith,' has fueled speculation and interest among scientists and the public.
