Mariner 4 image showing at least twenty craters of various sizes on Mars, resembling the lunar surface. The image was taken from 13,000 km and measures 157 miles x 140 miles (253 by 225 km). The area is in western Memnonia Fossae. The sun angle is 39 deg. from zenith, allowing some detail to be seen, including a central peak in the crater right of the center.
