This stunning view shows a host of hollows along the rim and floor of a 42-km-diameter (26-mi-diameter) crater. The hollow-covered rim to the right in this image is shared between this younger, smaller crater and an older, 120-km-diameter (75-mi.-diameter) crater, inside of which the smaller crater formed. The sun was high in the sky when this image was taken, making the bright hollows easy to see. North is to the right.
