ESA Mars Express - "Neukum Crater" Gigapan - Is small Crater to the left of the main subject really a crater? was created by Glitch_Neo

view of Neukum Crater, in the Noachis Terra region of Mars. The view highlights the relatively flat crater floor with its two shallow depressions, and striking dark dune field in the southeast corner

Spotted this odd looking "Crater" just off to the left of the main crater - Have a look - It looks very Fabricated to me..

Hi Glitch_Neo, cool find. I checked and found this anomaly in a CTX photograph: viewer.mars.asu.edu/planetview/inst/ctx/P17_007492_1353_XN_44S331W

The anomaly is located in the bottom right of the CTX photograph.

To match the ESA photograph to the area on Google Earth Mars I need to rotate the globe 90 degrees clockwise.

Interesting flat feature with smaller circular feature out on the edge (it may even be sticking over the edge slightly - maybe an object?). The darker right-angle anomaly to the left of the large flat disk looks like it could be artificial. There seems to be some design/geometry to this shape.

Sorry Jean, I never spotted your follow up work on this one! Much appreciated - I at first view reminded me of the pools used for waste water treatment - but that was an impulse thought, I need to have a much closer look! Cheers

Ps - I enjoyed your latest YT video's - great food for thought!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
