Mars Orbiter Mission photo of the far side of Deimos
Mars Orbiter Mission photo of the far side of Deimos Like most solar system moons, Deimos always keeps the same hemisphere facing Mars. It's rare for spacecraft to view the hemisphere that faces away from Mars, but Mars Orbiter Mission's long, elliptical orbit permits it to do that. This image is a composite of four different exposures, stacked and enlarged 400%. ISRO / processed by Emily Lakdawalla

Here are the four individual images used to create the composite:
