Bright Crater Wall (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)
|
NEAR Shoemaker captured this image on January 11, 2001, while orbiting about 38 Km (approx. 24 miles) above Eros.
Material on the inner wall of the crater in the center of the image is brighter than the surrounding regolith and is thought to be subsurface material exposed when overlying, darker regolith slides off.
The whole scene is about 1,2 Km (such approx. 0,7 miles) across.
