About this image

This VIS image shows a portion of two unnamed craters in Terra Sabaea. The smaller crater at the top of the image contains many dark slope streaks. These streaks are thought to have formed by the movement of material down hill, disturbing or removing the brighter surface dust to reveal the darker rocky material below.
