'When that image came back, it was so unusual, like we've never seen before,' said Liliya Posiolova from the Orbital Science and Operations Group.
How was the crater discovered?
The team first saw the crater on Feb. 11, 2022. They were taking photos to complement an earlier photograph of the area, said Liliya Posiolova, from the facility's Orbital Science and Operations Group. The scientists wondered if the dust disturbance was visible on their color imager camera, so they took a look. That's when they noticed debris, Posiolova said.
