RMD98MKX–Becquerel Crater is one of several impact craters in Arabia Terra, on Mars, that have light-toned layered deposits along the
RF2A6CJYB–Map of all confirmed impact craters on Earth. The craters are sorted into size groups by colour, as follows. White: 0-5km diameter. Green: 5-10km diameter. Yellow: 10-50km diameter. Orange: greater than 50km diameter. Eighteen craters fall into the latter category, which are labelled. They include Chicxulub in the Gulf of Mexico, which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, and Vredefort in South Africa, the largest known impact structure in Earth.

RM2WBN5EB–This color HiRISE view shows a pitted, blocky surface, but also more unusually, it has contorted, irregular features. Although there are impact craters in this area, some of the features (like in the lower center of the cutout) are too irregular to be relic impact craters or river channels. One possibility is that sedimentary layers have been warped from below to create these patterns. The freezing and thawing of subsurface ice is a mechanism that could have caused this. Acidalia Planitia is part of the northern plains of Mars, at a latitude of 44 degrees north.

RMD999XK–This image from NASA's Dawn mission reveals the creeping dawn over the north pole of the giant asteroid Vesta now that sunlight is shining over that area. The mosaic is composed of 5 images obtained by Dawn's framing camera on Aug.26, 2012, while Dawn was at an altitude of about 4,000 miles (6,000 kilometers). Dawn's north pole is centered in this image and still in the dark. The mosaic shows two large impact craters, one relatively fresh with no smaller impacts on its floor and a second larger and older one with many smaller impacts on its floor.

RM2WBN5J1–This image shows terrain near Mangala Valles. At the bottom of the image are two black spots that are recent impact craters. The black spots form because the craters exposed cleaner materials in the subsurface beneath the bright, dusty surface. Our image is also interesting because the surface has a criss-cross pattern formed by wind activity. Bright ripples that are oriented from the upper right to the lower left are perpendicular to the wind flow. In contrast, outcrops that have been eroded by the wind are oriented perpendicular to the ripples to produce the criss-cross pattern we now observ
RM2K5E6RP–Martian landscape. This HiRISE image shows channels from Hale Crater, up to c.250m (820ft) across, though most are much smaller. The channels appear to emanate directly from Hale Crater's ejecta, and were likely formed by the impact event. The heat of the impact could have melted large amounts of subsurface ice, and generated surface runoff capable of carving the channels. Channels associated with impact craters were once thought to be quite rare.Image is less than 5km (3 mi) across. A unique optimised version of NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/JPL/UArizona

The picture is taken at an altitude of 1690 meters. Numerous small impact craters can be seen on the surface of the planet. These images help the onboard software to minimize the lander's horizontal velocity before its bridle is cut, and it falls freely to the surface of Mars.

The channel segments to the north of this image display a variety of features, including streamlined forms and terracing that are suggestive of catastrophic flooding. However, this observation shows channels of uniform width suggesting more persistent flows eroding into and around two impact craters, each about two hundred meters in diameter. This complex geology may be the result of formation in volcanic terrains as fluid flows erode into basalt and interbedded ash or
