Dark Light
The objective of this observation is to examine at least two layers that are exposed in the wall of an impact crater that’s less than 5 km across.

Even without a 3D picture, we can easily see that the crater’s walls are fairly steep. Phlegra Montes are a series of mountain ranges, massifs and knobby terrain in the northern lowlands of Mars.

Layered Bedrock

This un-named crater in southwestern Arabia Terra contains a treasure! Layered sediments are the key to the puzzle of Martian history. They tell us about the conditions that existed when the sediments were deposited, and how they changed over time.

The Saga of Airy-0

Up to now, we’ve never imaged Airy-0, a crater within Airy Crater that formerly was used to define zero longitude on Mars.
