Stickney Crater
Posted in Astronomy at 20:00 on 9 May 2018
Stickney Crater is almost half the diameter of the astronomical object of which it forms part of the surface, Mars’s largest moon, Phobos.
This view of it taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter appeared on Astronomy Picture of the Day, on 5/5/18.
It’s a bit weird-looking, possibly due to enhanced colouring, but what an impressive sight!
