Today's VIS image shows part of a central pit crater located in Hesperia Planum. The dark patterns on the floor of the crater are the shadows being cast by the crater rim in the early morning sun. This is a fairly young crater, and the rim is still very rough. Shadow lengths can sometimes be used to calculate the height of the object casting the shadow if the sun angle is known.
