HiPOD 22 May 2023: Ridges in Huygens Crater
With this observation, we want to investigate the timing relationship between the wrinkle ridges and the quasi-circular mesas we see here. The floor of this 450-km diameter crater named after Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens (1629-1695) has an unusual texture. Smooth-topped mesas are scattered across a more rugged surface. The mesas are testament to a former smooth layer of material that is in the process of eroding away.
