Naming of moons to as "Proserpina". More recently, especially in science-fictional contexts, the Moon has been called by the Latin name "Luna", presumably on the analogy of the Latin names of the planets, or by association with the adjectival form "lunar". In technical terminology, the word-stems "seleno-" (from Greek "selēnē" "moon") and "cynthi-" (from "Cynthia", an epithet of the goddess Artemis) are sometimes used to refer to the Moon, as in "selenography, selenology," and "pericynthion." The moons of Mars (Phobos and Deimos) were named by Asaph Hall in 1878, soon after he discovered them. They are named after the sons of the god
Phobos (moon) on Greek mythology, in which Phobos is a companion to the god Ares. Phobos has dimensions of , and retains too little mass to be rounded under its own gravity. Phobos does not have an atmosphere due to its low mass and low gravity. It is one of the least reflective bodies in the Solar System, with an albedo of about 0.071. Infrared spectra show that it has carbon-rich material found in carbonaceous chondrites. Instead, its composition shows similarities to that of Mars’ surface. Phobos's density is too low to be solid rock, and it is known to have significant
