Mars has a fresh new wound.
This image of a 100-foot crater was snapped by a NASA spacecraft last fall and released this week. The space agency says the impact formed sometime between July 2010 and May 2012, and sent debris as far as 9.3 miles away.
The crater and the big scar around it look blue due to the enhanced image and the removal of dust from the area, the agency said in a press release.
