About this work
Today's VIS image shows part of the floor of Rabe Crater. Located in Noachis Terra, Rabe Crater is 108 km (67 miles) across. Dunes cover only the very upper left of this image of Rabe Crater. The sand is likely derived by erosion into the deposit that fills most of the crater floor, creating a pit which hosts the dunes. The lower elevations at the top of this image are the eroded pit. As the dunes are created by wind action the forms of the dunes record the wind direction.
