Newly released images from the European Space Agency (ESA) show how water and other natural forces shaped craters and other surface features on Mars.
According to a statement from the space agency, the craters shown were once filled with sediments and water. Only traces of their history can now be found in the Martian desert.
The images, snapped on January 15 by ESA’s Mars Express orbiter, show a swath of the red planet just a few degrees south of the equator. The unnamed region sits slightly to the north of a dried out riverbed, dubbed Tagus Valles, and east of Tinto Valles and Palos crater, which were both featured in previous Mars Express photo sets.
