NASA Spots Curious New Crater on Mars

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently caught sight of a curious new feature on the surface of the Red Planet: a fresh crater. The impact site, which reportedly measures around 50 feet wide, was photographed by the satellite back in April and the image was released to the public this week. Based on past observations of the area, it is believed that the crater was created sometime in the last three years.

In a testament to the awesome power of mother nature, even in space, astronomers say that the sizeable scar on the surface of Mars was probably created by a relatively small object of around five feet wide striking the planet. Of specific interest to scientists is that the blast wave from the formation of the crater is still distinctly visible in the image captured by the MRO.
