Magellan Probe: radio image of Geopert-Meyer Impact Crater

Caption NASA originale:"During the third global cycle of Magellan's radar mapping mission, images were obtained at viewing angles that were slightly different than those used in the first two cycles. This strategy was designed to produce stereo image pairs, which take advantage of distortions induced by the different views to provide details of the surface topography. This is a stereo image pair of Crater Geopert-Meyer, named for the 20th Century Polish physicist and Nobel laureate (60° north latitude; 26,5° east longitude). The Crater, 35 Km (22 miles) in diameter, lies above an escarpment at the edge of a ridge belt in southern Ishtar Terra. West of the crater the scarp has more than 1 Km of relief. Perception of relief may be obtained with stereo glasses or a stereoscope".
