Comparison of Neighbor Craters in MOC Image M1100274

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Neighbor
Two neighboring, approximately 3-kilometer diameter craters have different interior deposits and structures. Some of the features may be gullies. Our image can better characterize these respective formations and provide details about crater evolution. Plus, there might be insight as to why one crater of similar size in a similar environment exhibits a feature that another does not.
