Stickney Crater on Phobos

This dramatic view of the Maritian moon Phobos was acquired on 23 March 2008. This image was acquired at a distance of 6,800 kilometers from Phobos, providing a surface detail at 6.8 m/pixel scale. The impact crater Stickney is the largest feature on Phobos with a diameter of 9 km. The lineated textures on the walls of Stickney are landslides formed from materials falling into the crater interior in the weak Phobos gravity.
