About this work
Located in Noachis Terra, Asimov Crater has an unusual crater floor morphology. At some point after the crater formed, the interior was filled by materials that reached almost to the top of the crater rim. At some later point, deep depressions formed along the inner crater rim. Channels dissect both sides of these depressions. The mechanism of both the filling of the crater and the formation of the depressions is not known.
