Moons of Mars. The two moons of Mars are Phobos and Deimos. Both moons were discovered in 1877 by Asaph Hall and are named after the characters Phobos (panic/fear) and Deimos (terror/dread) who, in Greek mythology, accompanied their father Ares, god of war, into battle. Ares was known as Mars to the Romans.
A triangular prism is a prism composed of two triangular bases and three rectangular sides. It is a pentahedron. It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData[TriangularPrism]. The triangular prism has nine distinct nets, as illustrated above.
(Technically, when the sides are rectangles, the shape is known as a right prism, indicating that the lateral faces meet the sides of the base at right angles. In this lesson, when we use the term prism, we mean a right prism. But there are other types of prisms, too.) A prism is described by the shape of its base. For instance, a rectangular prism has bases that are rectangles, and a pentagonal prism has bases that are pentagons.
