NASA's Psyche spacecraft captured a view of the Martian surface on May 15, 2026, showing streaks formed by wind blowing over impact craters in the Syrtis Major region. The image scale is nearly 1,200 feet per pixel.
Image Details
The wind streaks extend to about 30 miles long, and the large craters near the center-bottom of the scene average around 30 miles in diameter. The images have been processed into a natural-color view using red, green, and blue data from imager filters.
