Double Impact Crater in Terra Tyrrhena (Natural Colors + MULTISPECTRUM; credits: ESA & Lunexit)

The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), ESA’s Mars Express obtained images of the Tyrrhena Terra Impact Region on Mars.
On 10 May 2007, the spacecraft was in orbit number 4294 when it snapped pictures of the Region located at 18° South Lat. and 99° East Long. with a ground resolution of approximately 15 metres per pixel.
The Western part of the scene is dominated by a 35 Km-wide and approx. 1000 mt-deep impact crater with an extremely cliffy and chiseled edge. Another, 18 Km-long and approx. 750 mt-deep impact crater, in all likelihood a ‘double impact crater’, is located South of the large crater.
These 'double impact craters' develop when two objects, part of a binary, hit the surface almost simultaneously.
