This nighttime IR image is dominated by a large crater. The crater no longer has any visible ejecta, and retains only it's rim - seen here as a varigated black/gray semi- circle surrounding a brighter floor. The smaller craters in the image have bright rings representing their rocky rims. This crater is located just south of Syrtis Major.
