Crater Investigation


New pictures have come in from ESA's Mars Express orbiter of Maunder Crater (seen above) on Mars. While the crater was once larger than it is now, erosion has filled in some of the bottom. The floor of the crater is made up of dunes, hills, valleys, and gullies. The more we find out about Mars' geography and geology, the more we can learn about its past.
