About this work
This observation image from NASA's Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter (MRO) captures details regarding the evolution of gully features observed in a crater in Acidalia Planitia. A Context Camera image provides context for these gullies showing an approximately 7-kilometer diameter crater in which we see that the gullies occur exclusively on the northern wall. This is unlike most of the observed gully sites in the northern Martian hemisphere, which typically have gullies on their pole-facing slopes.
