Tags: Crater.

Newton is a large crater on Mars with a diameter close to 300 km. It is located south of the planet’s equator in the heavily cratered highlands of Terra Sirenum. The impact that formed Newton likely occurred more than 3 billion years ago. The crater contains smaller craters within its basin and is particularly notable for gully formations that are presumed to be indicative of past liquid water flows.
