This observation was meant to examine a pit identified in a Context Camera image to see if HiRISE could resolve any details inside.

Fortunately, HiRISE is sensitive enough to actually see things in this otherwise dark pit. The hope was to determine if this was an isolated pit, or if it was a skylight into a tunnel, much like skylights in the lava tubes of Hawai’i. We can’t obviously see any tunnels in the visible walls, but they could be in the other walls that aren’t visible.
