A Nasa spacecraft in orbit around the Red Planet has spied a fresh impact crater on the Martian surface.
The hole is about 30m (100ft) in diameter and surrounded by a blast zone of debris punched out of the ground by the meteorite impact.
The explosion that generated this crater tossed out debris as far as 15km (9.3 mi).
The image was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRise camera, one of six instruments on the probe.
