Newton Crater

Dark Valley in Newton Crater

The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color images shows part of the large ridge on the floor of Newton Crater in Terra Sirenum.

These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color image shows some of the floor of Newton Crater. The small dark bluish features are sand dunes. Orbit Number: 50864 Latitude: -41.5788 Longitude: 201.592 Instrument: VIS Captured: 2013-06-02 02:53 http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21280

This observation from NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows both dome and barchan dunes in a small sand dune field on the floor of Newton Crater, an approximately 300 kilometer 130 mile wide crater in the Southern hemisphere of Mars.

This image comes from observations of Newton crater by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; warm-season features might be evidence of salty liquid water active on Mars today.

This image comes from observations of Newton crater by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The features that extend down the slope during warm seasons are called recurring slope lineae.

This image comes from observations of Newton crater by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter where features appear and incrementally grow during warm seasons and fade in cold seasons.

This image, combining orbital imagery with 3-D modeling, shows flows that appear in spring and summer on a slope inside Mars Newton crater. The source observation was made May 30, 2011, by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The small channel in this image from NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft is located on the floor of Newton Crater.

This image captured by NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft shows an example of a central peak crater. This unnamed crater is located on the floor of Newton Crater in Terra Sirenum.

Today's VIS image is of an unnamed crater located on the floor of the much larger Newton Crater. This crater had a central peak, gullies on the inner rim and dunes on the northern part of the crater floor. Orbit Number: 59391 Latitude: -41.9785 Longitude: 201.934 Instrument: VIS Captured: 2015-05-04 23:15 http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19504

This VIS image shows part of the crater rim and floor of an unnamed crater located in Terra Sirenum on the north rim of Newton Crater. The rim of the crater is in the upper half of the image. Several rounded features are located near the top of the rim. Rather than being impact craters, these features are more likely formed by collapse of the crater rim. In this type of slope failure a block of material slides down a fracture leaving a scalloped shaped feature with a block of material along the lower edge of the slope. There are also several channels dissecting the rim. This crater has a central peak, just off the image at the bottom left corner. The channels in the bottom part of the image are flowing away from the peak.
