This is the most recent image from Curiosity, the first one without the lens cover. The hills are the rim of a crater, didn’t quite catch the name when they said it.

Mars crater - 98’ diameter — recently formed(impact was sometime within the four years between 2012 and 2016)
The crater is surrounded by a large, rayed blast zone. In examining the distribution of ejecta scientists determined the impact that created this crater threw ejecta as far as 9.3 miles (15 kilometers).

This giant crater in the Arizona desert is creatively named Meteor Crater. It is 1200 metres wide and around 170 metres deep. 50,000 years ago this 40 metre wide asteroid struck what would have been a damp grassland with ten times the speed of a bullet.

The Roden Crater Telescope by jurvetson Portal to a magical overnight at Roden Crater with friends, and the artist James Turrell.
50 years in the making, it’s an art work tunneled through an extinct volcano, aligned with celestial events.
I noticed the crescent moon perfectly centered down the 1000’-long keyhole tunnel. I was excited to share with the group that almost missed it.
The tunnel is purposely built to align with events like this, and it took a year to dig with a tunnel-boring-machine. Craziest of all - it has a 10-ft. diameter lens that can roll out midway down the tunnel, forming the largest refracting telescope on Earth. https://flic.kr/p/2mHj8FJ

I didn’t know about the existence of this crater, Kerið. We just found it on our way from Selfoss to Laugarvatn. I was amazed by its beautiful contrasting colors . It seems that Björk held a concert here some years ago…
