Caption:
MGS MOC Release No. MOC2-449, 11 August 2003
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) high resolution image shows part of the boulder-strewn surface of an ejecta deposit from a meteor impact crater in Noachis Terra at 49.7°S, 341.6°W. The impact process ejects bouldery debris from the crater and deposits it all around the outside of the crater. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper left.
