CHAPTER FIVE. THE TWO MARS SATELLITES.
The next “impossible” configurations involve The Two Mars Satellites.
THE FINE STRUCTURE CONSTANT.
This is 7.29735308 x 10-3 and its reciprocal is 137.0359895
(1). Deimos’ orbital period = 1.2624407 Earth days.
137.0359895 x 1.2624407 = 172.9998105
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 2638 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ [(1 minus 0.9998105) x 2] = 2638

RELATIONSHIPS INVOLVING THE TWO MARS SATELLITES AND THE SUN AND MOON.
We will look at relationships that involve only The Sun, The Moon, and The Two Mars Satellites (Phobos and Deimos). Here are the (sidereal) rotation periods (expressed in Earth days) of these four bodies.
The Sun 24.66225 and The Moon 27.321661 and Phobos 0.31891023 and Deimos 1.2624407
Also, The Sun’s Oscillation Period = 0.111111111111 Earth days (ie:- EXACTLY One Ninth of an Earth day!)

To verify the rotation periods of The Moon, Phobos, and Deimos, go to the following web page:- www.solarsystemtimeperiods.com/large-sats
To verify The Sun’s oscillation period, go to the following web page:-
www.solarsystemtimeperiods.com/sun-oscillation
(A). 27.321661 x 0.31891023 x 1.2624407 = 10.99984
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 3125 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ [(1 minus 0.99984) x 2] = 3125
(B). 24.66225 x (0.31891023 + 1.2624407) = 38.99967
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 1515 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ [(1 minus 0.99967) x 2] = 1515
(C). (2√24.66225) x 0.31891023 x 1.2624407 = 1.99938
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 806 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ [(1 minus 0.99938) x 2] = 806
Now, while still confining examples to only these four bodies, we will introduce some other (synodic) periods that pertain to these bodies.
Phobos’ SYNODIC Revolution Period = 0.319058343 Earth days.
Deimos’ SYNODIC Revolution Period = 1.264764923 Earth days.
The Sun’s SYNODIC Rotation Period = 26.44803 Earth days.
The Moon’s SYNODIC Revolution Period = 29.5305882 Earth days.
To verify these periods, go to the following web page:-

(D). This involves the orbital periods of Phobos and Deimos (0.31891023 and 1.2624407) and The Synodic Revolution Period of Deimos (1.2647649).
(0.31891023 + 1.2624407) x 1.2647649 = 2.000037
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 13,513 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ (0.000037 x 2) = 13,513
In the next several examples, we are still involving only these same four bodies, Sun, Moon, Phobos, and Deimos, but with different periods that pertain to these bodies.
(E). The Lunar Day = 1.0350501 Earth solar days, or 1.03788387 Earth SIDEREAL DAYS.
The Phobosic Day = 0.462753 Earth solar days, or 0.46401993 Earth SIDEREAL DAYS.
The SUM of these four numbers = 2.9997069
To verify the Lunar and Phobosic Days, go to the following web page:-

To verify The Earth sidereal day, go to the following web page:-
www.solarsystemtimeperiods.com/earth-periods
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 1705 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ [(1 minus 0.9997069) x 2] = 1705
(F). The SUM of the rotation periods of Earth and Moon exceeds the rotation period of Phobos by 28.00002 Earth days. (Earth’s rotation period = 0.997269663 Earth solar days.)
On average, only 1 randomly generated number in 25,000 randomly generated numbers will be this close to a PERFECT WHOLE NUMBER.
1 ÷ (0.00002 x 2) = 25,000

THE INEXPLICABLE MARS SATELLITES.
Here are excerpts from an article in The New York Times concerning The Two Mars satellites.
What’s all the fuss about? For many, the desire to visit Phobos and Deimos was galvanized by their deeply mysterious nature. “They’re super weird, confusing and interesting,” said Abigail Fraeman, a planetary scientist studying Mars, Phobos and Deimos at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
We don’t know where the moons came from because they look like asteroids foreign to the red planet but behave like byproducts of Mars’ early, impact-laden history.
Phobos, being larger and closer to Mars, can be seen in greater detail: a misshapen mess scarred by a large crater and multiple grooves that look like they were made by a cosmic cat’s claws.
“They check all of the boxes that are consistent with them being these captured asteroids,” said Dr. Fraeman — rubbly patchworks that drifted too close to Mars long ago and became trapped in the planet’s orbit.
But both moons orbit the equator in a neat-and-tidy circular fashion, which suggests they coalesced from a disk of debris that danced around a young Mars. It’s difficult to capture an asteroid and have it “wind up in this beautiful, symmetric, circular orbit,” said Jeffrey Plaut, the project scientist for the Mars Odyssey mission.
Mars, having a tenth of Earth’s mass, has a relatively weak gravitational pull, so it seems improbable that it would be able to capture asteroids zipping by, said Tomohiro Usui, a robotic planetary exploration expert at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. But if they formed from a debris disk launched up from Mars after a colossal impact, Deimos should be orbiting closer to Mars than it is today.
Reconciling their appearances with their orbits is difficult.
“They just shouldn’t exist,” said Dr. Fraeman. “They don’t make any sense.”
A version of this article appeared in print on July 28, 2020, Section D, Page 8 of the New York edition of The New York Times with the headline: Space Potatoes: The Fascinating And ‘Super Weird’ Moons of Mars.
Here are further comments on the impossibility of the orbits of these satellites, taken from the book The Realm of The Terrestrial Planets, by Zdenek Kopal (Professor and Head of The Department of Astronomy at The University of Manchester), published by The Institute of Physics 1979 – pages 143 to 149:-
Here is a scan of the author’s comments on the “impossibility” of the orbits of these two satellites.
My comment:- There is also a problem with the satellites of Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. For all three of these planets, their INNERMOST Satellites revolve round the parent planet faster than the parent planet rotates. This implies CAPTURE of the satellite by the parent planet, and this is difficult to achieve, just as difficult as the CAPTURE of The Mars satellites discussed above.
