An impressionist painting? No, it’s a new impact crater on Mars, formed between Sept 2016 and Feb 2019. What makes this stand out is the darker material exposed beneath the reddish dust. (Special thanks to Nahúm Mendez.)https://t.co/tspasjsG90pic.twitter.com/T4ml5gfTnH
KABOOM! Before and after images of a meteorite forming a brand new impact crater on Mars. Sometime between 18 Feb 2017 and 20 March 2019. pic.twitter.com/TWXtUoP5NA
This is a whopper of an impact, as new craters go – diameter is 16 m. Still not much topography to see in the DTM I made (x5 vert. exag.) pic.twitter.com/ddzDbhkBZJ
