Cassini (Martian crater)

The name was approved in 1973, by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature.

[1] The crater measures approximately 415 kilometers in diameter and can be found at 327.9°W and 23.4°N.

Pictures of small craters on the floor of Cassini reveal multiple layers.

[3] A detailed discussion of layering with many Martian examples can be found in Sedimentary Geology of Mars.

[4] Recent research leads scientists to believe that some of the craters in Arabia may have held huge lakes.
