Monitoring a New Impact Site
One of the exciting opportunities provided by having spacecraft in Mars orbit for more than a decade is the opportunity to identify new impact craters that have formed over the past few years. Use of a combination of THEMIS, CTX, MOC, and HiRISE images has allowed several dozen new craters to be found.
This is one such crater, which is located at 3.67oN, 53.43oE, to the west of the Syrtis Major volcanics
