Today in the history of astronomy, the second moon of Mars has been discovered.
Stick Crater on Phobos was imaged by Mars Hyris camera in March 2008.
- Asaf Hall and Angelin Sticney met at New York Central College in 1855, where he read them and performed extraordinary mathematical abilities.
- Angelin Sticney initially assisted the hall with his astronomical calculations, but the salary was closed due to the dispute.
- In 1877, the encouragement of Angelin Sticney was important in preventing Asaf Hall from leaving his search for Martian Moons.
- Asaf Hall publicly accepted the significant contribution of Angelin Sticky’s Phobos and Demos, and the Sticky Crater on Phobos has been nominated in his honor.
Astronomer Asaf Hall met Angelin Sticney at New York Central College in 1855. Two years, his elderly, he instructed him in geometry and German, and a mathematician was so strong that the hall and his classmate made a game to try to stump him, yet could never do. The pair got married next year. For a while, Angelin helped her husband with her computation – but left when she refused to pay her a man’s salary for work. Nevertheless, he played an important role in his astronomical career: In 1877, when the hall fogi was disappointed with the weather on the bottom and left his search for the Moon of Mars, Angelin persuaded him to put it on it. Writing on August 17 after the discovery of Demos and Phobos on August 17, the hall admitted its role: “The opportunity to find a satellite appeared very modest, so that I had given up the search, it was not to encourage my wife.” Sticky Crater, the largest pit on Phobos, is named in his honor.
