Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fig. 2: The geographic location of the ancient Nubium basin (20°S, 16°W) is difficult to determine in images. The color-coded DTM (left) and the hill-shaded model (right) help show Nubium due to a slight topographic depression easily seen in the topographic map. Parts of a rim structure can be identified in the southeast, suggesting a basin diameter of about 675 km (black dashed), which is consistent with previous estimates of 690 km (gray dashed, [1]). The mean rim height (the height difference between rim and basin floor) is ~1.8 km according to the DTM. The hill-shaded model accentuates the smooth bottom of Nubium [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University/DLR].
