8/3/2005: Mars crater water



The crater is 23 miles (35 km) wide, 1.2 miles deep, and that stuff in the middle is a frozen disc of water about 200 meters thick. Oh yeah, and it's on Mars.

BigV sends along this ApoD. The image itself was taken in February by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on
board Mars Express, the European Space Agency probe which is exploring the planet.
