This incredible photo of a newly discovered crater on Mars may give more color to the notion that Mars isn’t entirely the Red Planet.
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently used its High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) to snap a beautifully crisp photo of the Martian surface.

It shows how much material has been excavated by the impact of the crater, possibly showcasing subterranean ice below.
