Comets, stars, the Moon and Mars

A collection of cosmic musings and images, the majority of which are not mine (although I do occasional photograph the sun, moon and whatever else I can get into focus). This tumblog serves as a respository of sorts for web post I would like to keep track of. The name of this blog is inspired by the book of the same name by Douglas Florian.

The Korolev crater, found within the northern lowlands of Mars, is filled with fresh untrodden snow and ice. 

The depth of the crater is around 2km and remains in a stable, wintery state due to a particular cold trap weather phenomenon that occurs in its vicinity.
