The moon Phobos orbits Mars in a nearly circular orbit that puts it closer to its host planet than any other known moon in the Solar System. Phobos oftens approaches within 5826 km of the typical Martian surface features. To give you an idea how close that is, our moon only gets about 354,990 km from Earth's surface. (If you're reading about orbits and distances elsewhere, remember that most sources list the distance from the center of the moon to the center of the planet.)
