Gale (crater)

Gale is a crater , and probable dry lake , on Mars near the northwestern part of the Aeolis quadrangle at 5°24′S 137°48′E  /  5.4°S 137.8°E  / -5.4; 137.8 . [2] It is 154 km (96 mi) in diameter [1] and estimated to be about 3.5-3.8 billion years old. [3] The crater was named after Walter Frederick Gale , an amateur astronomer from Sydney , Australia, who observed Mars in the late 19th century. [4] Aeolis Mons is a mountain in the center of Gale and rises 5.5 km (18,000 ft) high. [5] [6] Aeolis Palus is the plain between the northern wall of Gale and the northern foothills of Aeolis Mons. [5] [6] Peace Vallis , [7] a nearby outflow channel , 'flows' down from the Gale crater hills to the Aeolis Palus below and seems to have been carved by flowing water . [8] [9] [10]
