Oh, that is scary. What the heck are they.
Probably trees....

Looks like a lot of those round objects in the upper section - mainly upper left - are not craters at all but protrusions that almost look like heat bubbles in paint that is being stripped with these paint stripping devices.GaryN wrote:I wonder what the odds are of so many impactors hitting the edge of the crater rim, and leaving what look like scorch marks(upper-mid right). Also, there are craters that look like they are perpendicular to the quite steep sides of some ridges(lower right of image, for one), though that may be due to angles/perspectives.

TPOD subject index for craters:This cratering mechanism explains not only the glass beads and brecciated rocks, but many other features which fit poorly into the impact explanation, such as flat bottoms, terraced walls, central peaks and secondary craters centered on the rims of larger craters.
Not quite sure exactly where you are looking, but particularly with the grayscale images I have found myself seeing craters as blisters, a whole screen full sometimes. I have to look away for a couple of seconds, and when I look back, they are all craters again!Looks like a lot of those round objects in the upper section - mainly upper left - are not craters at all but protrusions that almost look like heat bubbles in paint that is being stripped with these paint stripping devices.
Look at the part at the lower side of the big crater. You may see it even better on the elevation-pic (below - look at the darkest area), as the rocks may be confusing.bandsox wrote:Where?
I looked closely at the 52MB hi-res TIFF but I can't see the Lichtenburg Forms you describe.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Any chance you could upload a zoomed in screencap to show what you mean?
Thank you!
