94: Seven hundred new craters on Mars with Dr. Daubar

from Spacepod

Dr. Ingrid Daubar stops by to talk about HiRISE, a camera on a Mars-orbiting spacecraft that takes amazing images of the Martian surface. She explains how she uses these images to search for fresh craters, and how you (yes you!) suggest areas of the planet for this camera to image. (Correction to episode: Mars' atmosphere is 0.6% that of  Earth, not 6%)
