My question is: Would it be possible to find on Earth, meteorites with = an origin from Phobos (or the other moon Deimos)? Or would the fragments be mainly gravitationally atracted by Mars? I suppose that other factors should be considered, such as the angle and = the velocity of the impactors on the moons?
