A comparison of craters:
The shape of the main bright spot seems to be similar to the form of the central pit in the other crater. Colored arrows point to possibly similar topographic features. Blue arrows mark high points. Yellow marks breaches in the pit walls. These features (superficially) remind me of the 'capes' and 'bays' of Victoria Crater on Mars. |
