This red wide angle NASA - Mars Global Surveyor - MOC image, acquired in March 2004, shows Kunowsky Crater ringed by Seasonal Frost. Kunowsky Crater is about 67 Km (~42 miles) in diameter. Wavy Clouds form to the East of the Crater during the early Martian Spring as Winds circulate from West to East. Kunowsky Crater (named after George K. Kunowsky, a German Astronomer (1786–1846) is located in the Mare Acidalium Quadrangle of Mars, at about 57,1° North Lat. and 9,7° West Long. This frame has been colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Global Surveyor Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.
