Dunes in Crater North of Antoniadi Crater

Dunes in Crater North of Antoniadi Crater

Dunes of an Unnamed Crater
This scene is located within an unnamed impact crater to the northwest of the larger Antoniadi Crater in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars. We obtained this image to observe possible changes in dune position, and for more coverage of star dunes, which are dunes with arms radiating from a central peak. Star dunes are more common on Mars than on Earth.
