Wind And Water Have Shaped Schiaparelli On MarsBonn, Germany (SPX) Dec 13, 2010 The small crater embedded in the north-western rim of the Schiaparelli impact basin features prominently in this new image acquired by the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. The image was acquired on 15 July 2010. All around is evidence of water in the past and the strong Martian winds that blow periodically. Schiaparelli is a large impact basin about 460 kilometres in ... read more |
