At 50 degrees South and 2 degrees East, the Maunder crater sits on Mars. The High Resolution Stereo Camera on the ESA Mars Express Orbiter has taken pictures of the region on Mars. It was named after astronomer Edward Maunder. It is nearly 900 meters in depth and 90 kiometers in diameter, but is not the largest impact craters on Mars presently. It used to much deeper, but has been filled over the years since its orignial discovery.
