These two impact craters near Deuteronilus Mensae dominate the center of this observation, also visible in Context Camera images.

Both are fairly small and geologically young (hence “fresh”) but the flower-like ejecta of one of them is what stands out here. A collection of boulders surround both.

Secondary Craters

This image of a southern mid-latitude crater was intended to investigate the lineated material on the crater floor. At the higher resolution of HiRISE, the image reveals a landscape peppered by small impact craters.
