Layered deposits exposed on the floor of an impact crater picked out by dark sand trapped in the hollows left by wind erosion. In places the layers are offset, showing that the ground has been fractured in the past. #unibern #ESA #exomars #cassisseesmars

This image taken by CaSSIS on the 19th of May 2021, shows several active dust devils in the northern hemisphere of Mars. Dust devils appear as small vortexes and slightly bluer in this false colour composite image. Can you spot them? #unibern #ESA #TGO

📸 Look at this cool swirling and looping texture, typical of the deposits on the floor of the #Hellas impact basin in the southern hemisphere of #Mars. The terrain is enigmatic and its origins still puzzle scientists. #CaSSISseesMars #swirls #UniBern #ExoMars #ESA #Roscosmos

These beautiful swirls are thoroughly mesmerising, don't you think?! I imaged this landscape in the deep Hellas basin of #Mars with ExoMars CaSSIS 📷 Explore the scene👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… #ExploreFarther

Shown here is a double crater in Arcadia Planitia. This duo 2-kilometer crater formed by the simultaneous impact of two projectiles. The interaction of the two shockwaves created a spectacular butterfly pattern in the ejecta blanket. #ESA #unibern #Mars #cassisseesmars

📸 Icy scarps made visible, despite the low light in this late evening image, by their covering of bright white CO2 frost. Usually gone in spring, frost remains late on these scarps because of their pole-facing orientation. #CasSSISseesMars #UniBe #ESA #Roscosmos #ExoMars #Mars

A dramatic evening image of a 6-km diameter crater in the northern plains of Mars, where half the crater is in shadow. The path taken by crater's ejecta can be clearly seen in the form of grooves radiating away from the crater's centre. #ESA #UniBern #Mars #ExoMars #Roscosmos

📸Ritchey Crater (309.06°E, 28.13°S) has exposed bedrock, variety of impactites and post-impact materials. RGB images show what you would see but my filters (NIR-RED-PAN-BLU) help differentiate various materials. Can you 👀 the differences ? #Mars #UniBern #ExoMars #ESA #Roscomos

Ice-filled crater in the Martian polar region of Vastitas Borealis. Water ice may exist for longer periods on north facing slopes, which receive fewer hours of sunlight on average throughout the year. #ESA #UniBern #Mars #ExoMars #Roscosmos

Easternmost part of Noctis Labyrinthus on #Mars at 265.8°E -8.70°N. This region has a network of grabens formed by extensional tectonics. If you look closely, some boulders rolled down the steep wall and left tracks behind. How many can you 👀 ? #UniBern #ExoMars #ESA #Roscosmos

This is the interior of an impact crater filled with deposits thought to be water-ice rich. The presence of polygonal patterns of fractures, probably due to seasonal thermal processes, is a further indication of the ice-rich nature of these deposits. #ESA #UniBern #Roscosmos

Just me, or does this impact crater look like a tree stump with characteristic rings?! Worlds apart, but just as tree rings provide snapshots of Earth’s past climate, the patterns inside this ice-rich crater reveal details of Mars history #ExploreFarther 📷esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…
