This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Twin craters, Mars, satellite image. Two craters side by side in the Thaumasia Planum region south of Valles Marineris. Each crater was caused by a separate impact and each measures 50 kilometres in diameter. Both craters contain a central pit which is a common feature among high velocity impacts. The northern (right) crater is named Arima. The image data is from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express Orbiter.
