Mars Smiley Face
This “smiley face” crater was imaged by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter last week.
The unnamed crater is about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) across. It is located among the Nereidum Montes, north of the Argyre basin, near 45.1°S, 55.0°W. North is toward the right and sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper right.
