'starburst' spiders.

  • p.titchin by p.titchin

    This is a bland image, but on the HiRISE views, there are what are being called 'starburst' spiders. They are cropping up on the 2011 images, and as Wassock commented in a recent thread in answer to me , they almost look as if they are restricted by craters, because they are perfectly circular. They make fantastic images, but I have not come across them before, and now have seen many in the last month's images. Has anyone else noticed them? The HiRISE colRGB strip for APF00013av shows some good examples.
