Martian Crater Galdakao Nudges Jagged Northeastern Rim of Gusev Crater

Summary: Martian Crater Galdakao nudges the jagged northeastern rim of Gusev Crater in the Martian southern hemisphere's Aeolis quadrangle.

High-resolution, five-wavelength visual imaging system (VIS) image, obtained by 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter's Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), depicts part of Gusev Crater's rim and ejecta, with Galdakao Crater's rim appearing as arc feature terminating at the channel (lower right); image ID V24582002; image captured Saturday, June 30, 2007, 00:53, at minus 12.9245 south latitude, 176.398 east longitude, during orbit 24582; image credit NASA/JPL-Caltech/Arizona State University: via Arizona State University Mars Odyssey THEMIS

Galdakao Crater nudges the jagged northeastern rim of Gusev Crater in the southeastern quadrant of the Martian southern hemisphere's Aolis quadrangle as the large impact crater's only named northeastern neighborly crater.

The Aeolis quadrangle numbers as the 23rd of 30 cartographic quadrangles dividing the Martian surface according to mapping by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Designated as Mars Chart 23 (MC-23), the Aeolis quadrangle encompasses 180 degrees west to 225 degrees west longitude (180 degrees east to 135 degrees east longitude) and zero degrees to minus 30 degrees south latitude.

Galdakao Crater is centered at minus 13.34 degrees south, 176.63 degrees east, according to the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. It posts its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 13.06 degrees south and minus 13.62 degrees south, respectively. It marks its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 176.92 degrees east and 176.34 degrees east, respectively. Galdakao Crater's diameter measures 33.44 kilometers.

Galdakao Crater neighbors at the edge of Gusev Crater's northeastern craggy rim. Galdakao occurs as Gusev Crater's only named northern craterous neighbor.

Gusev Crater's eastern rim exhibits greater relief than its western rim, according to planetary geologists David A. Crown, James W. Rice, Steven W. Ruff and Stephen P. Scheidt and senior research associate Frank C. Chuang in "Geologic Mapping of Gusev Crater, Mars: Gusev Rim and Floor Characteristics," presented at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and U.S. Geological Survey's 2021 Annual Meeting of Planetary Geologic Mappers (PGM), which was held virtually Monday, June 14, to Tuesday, June 15. The north-northeastern rim's maximum relief of approximately 2,550 meters contrasts with the north-northwestern rim's relief maximum of approximately 600 meters. Incised slopes, numerous canyon-like valleys and seeming deposits of alluvial sediments configure Gusev Crater's northeastern rim.

Gusev Crater is centered at minus 14.53 degrees south latitude, 175.52 degrees west longitude. The impact crater expresses its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 13.20 degrees south and minus 15.86 degrees south, respectively. It details its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 176.91 degrees east and 174.15 degrees east, respectively. Gusev Crater's diameter spans 158.12 kilometers.

Galdakao Crater is located between Gusev Crater, its south-southwestern neighbor, and Apollinaris Sulci (Latin: sulci, plural, "plow-drawn furrows"), its northern neighbor. The feature type termed "Sulcus, sulci" is defined by the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature as "Subparallel furrows and ridges." Apollinaris Sulci is specified as a region occupying the Martian dichotomy, the boundary between the Red Planet's sharply contrasted northern and southern hemispheres, according to NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) senior research scientist Laura Kerber and 14 co-authors in "A Human Landing Site at Apollinaris Sulci: Life Inside a Yardang," presented during First Landing Site/Exploration Zone Workshop for Human Missions to the Surface of Mars, held Tuesday, Oct. 27, to Friday, Oct. 30, 2015, at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston, Texas. As a dichotomous site southeast of volcanic Apollinaris Mons and northeast of the Gusev impact crater, Apollinaris Sulci mingles with diverse terrain boundaries.

Apollinaris Sulci is centered at minus 11.06 degrees south latitude, 177.47 degrees east longitude. Its northernmost and southernmost latitutdes touch minus 9.47 degrees south and minus 12.65 degrees south, respectively. It establishes its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 178.80 degrees east and 176.21 degrees east, respectively. Apollinaris Sulci's diameter spans 188.64 kilometers.

Apollinaris Mons (Latin: mons, "mountain") lies to the northwest of Galdakao Crater and of Apollinaris Sulci. Apollinaris Mons describes as "a volcanic construct" that formed "along the transition zone between the northern lowlands and southern highlands" (Figure 1 Context View of Apollinaris Mons), according to senior research associate Frank C. Chuang and senior scientists David A. Crown and Daniel C. Berman in "Geology of the northeastern flank of Apollinaris Mons, Mars: Constraints on the erosional history from morphology, topography, and crater populations," published in the Nov. 15, 2019, issue of Icarus.

Apollinaris Mons is centered at minus 9.17 degrees south latitude, 174.79 degrees east longitude. Its northernmost and southernmost latitudes extend from minus 6.88 degrees south to minus 11.47 degrees south latitude. Its easternmost and westernmost longitudes stretch from 176.40 degrees east to 172.66 degrees east, respectively. Apollinaris Mons has a diameter of 275.40 kilometers.

Apollinaris Patera designates the caldera of Apollinaris Mons. The name formerly referenced the entire volcanic mountain.

Apollinaris Patera is centered at minus 8.57 degrees south latitude, 174.18 degrees east longitude. It records northernmost and southernmost latitudes of minus 7.92 degrees south and minus 9.22 degrees south, respectively. The caldera registers its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 174.91 degrees east and 173.43 degrees east, respectively. Apollinaris Patera's diameter measures 89.60 kilometers.

Galdakao Crater honors "Euskadi (Basque) town in Spain," according to the crater's profile page on the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. Galdakao is a town and municipality in the province of Biscay (Basque: Bizkaia; Spanish: Vizcaya) in the Basque Country (Basque: Euskadi; Spanish: País Vasco; French: Pays Basque), also called Basque Autonomous Community (Basque: Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa; Spanish: Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco; French: Communauté autonome du Pays basque). The International Astronomical Union approved the crater's Basque-honoring name in 2003, the year of the IAU's XXV (25th) General Assembly, which was held from Saturday, July 12, to Saturday, July 26, 2003, in Sydney, Australia.

Gusev Crater in Southern Mars Honors Russian Astronomer Matvey Gusev

Summary: Gusev Crater, a large impact crater sited in the Martian southern hemisphere's Aeolis quadrangle, honors 19th-century Russian astronomer Matvey Gusev.

Panoramic mosaic of western Martian sky obtained, at approximate distance of 50 miles (80 kilometers), via Panoramic Camera's (Pancam) 750-nanometer, 530-nanometer and 430-nanometer color filters on rover Spirit's 489th Martian day (sol 489), Thursday, May 19, 2005, around 6:07 p.m., captures sunset at rim of Martian southern hemisphere's Gusev Crater, with rocky outcrop named Jibsheet in foreground: May be used for any purpose without prior permission, via NASA JPL Photojournal

Gusev Crater, which occurs as a large impact crater in the Martian southern hemisphere's Aeolis quadrangle, honors 19th-century Russian astronomer Matvey Gusev.

Gusev Crater occupies the Martian southern hemisphere's Aeolis quadrangle, designated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as MC-23 (Mars Chart 23). The USGS has divided the surface of Mars into 30 cartographic quadrangles. The Mars Global Surveyor's (MGS) Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) produced the precise topographic maps, which comprehensively portray the Martian surface from the south polar ice cap to the north polar ice cap. Gusev Crater is located in the Aeolis quadrangle's southeastern quadrant.

Gusev Crater is centered at minus 14.53 degrees south latitude, 175.52 degrees west longitude, according to the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. The impact crater defines its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 13.20 degrees south and minus 15.86 degrees south, respectively. It demarcates its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 176.91 degrees east and 174.15 degrees east, respectively. Gusev Crater's diameter spans 158.12 kilometers.

Galdakao Crater nudges Gusev Crater's northeastern rim. It is centered at minus 13.34 degrees south, 176.63 degrees east. It arrives at its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 13.06 degrees south and minus 13.62 degrees south, respectively. It parameterizes its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 176.92 degrees east and 176.34 degrees east, respectively. Galdakao Crater's diameter measures 33.44 kilometers.

Apollinaris Mons lies to the north as Gusev Crater's largest, nearest, named, craterous northern neighbor. It occurs as a southern hemisphere "volcanic construct" inhabiting "the transition zone between the northern lowlands and southern highlands" (Figure 1, page 386), as described by Planetary Science Institute (PSI) senior research associate Frank C. Chuang and PSI senior scientists David A. Crown and Daniel C. Berman in "Geology of the northeastern flank of Apollinaris Mons, Mars: Constraints on the erosional history from morphology, topography, and crater populations," published in the Nov. 15, 2019, issue of Icarus.

Apollinaris Mons is centered at minus 9.17 degrees south latitude, 174.79 degrees east longitude. The volcano's northernmost and southernmost latitudes extend to minus 6.88 degrees south and minus 11.47 degrees south, respectively. Its easternment and westernmost longitudes stretch from 176.40 degrees east to 172.66 degrees east, respectively. Apollinaris Mons has a diameter of 275.40 kilometers.

Apollinaris Patera designates the caldera that formed with the emptying of the underground magma chamber in Apollinaris Mons. Patera defines as "An irregular crater, or a complex one with scalloped edges," according to the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature's list of Descriptor Terms (Feature Types).

Apollinaris Patera is centered at minus 8.57 degrees south, 174.18 degrees east. The caldera finds its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 7.92 degrees south and minus 9.22 degrees south, respectively. It obtains its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 174.91 degrees east and 173.43 degrees east, respectively. Apollinaris Pateria's diameter measures 80.60 kilometers.

Gusev Crater, which occurs as a large impact crater in the Martian southern hemisphere, honors 19th-century Russian astronomer Matvey Gusev, hosts the landing site for Mars robotic rover Spirit and contains the Apollo 1 Hills and the Columbia Hills; Detail from Aeolis, MC-23, shows Gusev Crater with northward-flowing Ma'adim Vallis debouching to Gusev's southern rim; Base image: THEMIS IR Day mosaic by USGS, ASU Margin image: THEMIS IR Global Mosac v11.6, ASU Colorized Topography: MOLA Elevation Model, GSFC Date of Last Nomenclature Update: Nov. 9, 2022: via IAU (International Astronomical Union) and USGS ASC (U.S. Geological Survey Astrogeology Science Center)

De Vaucouleurs Crater is sited to the west as Gusev Crater's largest, nearest, named, craterous western neighbor. The "huge" crater's "mix of features" includes some "chaotic terrain," as described in NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Photojournal post, "PIA23905: de Vaucouleurs Crater."

De Vaucouleurs Crater is centered at minus 13.31 degrees south, 171.00 degrees east. The huge crater registers its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 10.78 degrees south and minus 15.88 degrees south, respectively. It records its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 173.62 degrees east and 168.38 degrees east, respectively. De Vaucouleurs Crater's diameter spans 302.27 kilometers.

Kayne Crater resides to the west of southwestern Gusev Crater. It is centered at minus 15.50 degrees south, 173.56 degrees east. Kayne Crater expresses its northernmost and southernmost latitudes as minus 15.21 degrees south and minus 15.78 degrees south, respectively. It pinpoints its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at 173.86 degrees east and 173.27 degrees east, respectively. Kayne Crater has a diameter of 33.82 kilometers.

The International Astronomical Union formally approved Gusev Crater's name in 1976 during the organization’s XVIth (16th) General Assembly, which was held Tuesday, Aug. 24, to Tuesday, Sept. 21, in Grenoble, France. The crater honors 19th-century Russian astronomer Matvey Matveyevich Gusev (Russian: Матве́й Матве́евич Гу́сев; Nov. 28 [O.S. Nov. 16], 1826-April 22 [O.S. April 10], 1866). Gusev was associated with Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory (Russian: Пулковская астрономическая обсерватория, Pulkovskaya astronomicheskaya observatoriya), located on Pulkovo Heights (Russian: Пу́лковские высо́ты) south of Saint Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербург), northwestern Russia. He relocated to Vilnius University Astronomical Observatory (Lithuanian: Vilniaus universiteto astronomijos observatorija ) in southeastern Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuva; Russian: Литва, Litva) in 1852.

Gusev served twice as interim director at Vilnius Observavtory. His first interim directorship occurred in 1854, in the transition between Russian astronomer Georg Albert Fuss's (1806--1854) directorship (1847 to 1854) and Russian astronomer Georg Sabler's (April 18, 1810-1865) directorship (1854 to 1865). Gusev's second interim directorship occurred in 1865 to 1866, in the transition to Sabler's successor, Russian astronomer and geodesist Pjotr Smyslow's (1827--1891), directors from 1866 to 1882, according to "Outstanding Astronomical Heritage: Vilnius observatory, Lithuania," posted on UNESCO's Astronomy and World Heritage Initiative's Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy.

Gusev's achievements include founding the first mathematics- and physics-based journal in Russia. He started the Bulletin of Mathematical Sciences (Russian: Вестник математических наук, Vestnik matematicheskikh nauk) in 1860.

Proving the non-sphericity of the lunar orbit around Earth in 1860 in "О состоянии Луны" ("On the State of the Moon") numbers among his astronomical firsts. His photographs of the moon, the sun and sunspots qualify him as a pioneer in the application of photography to astronomy.
