List of craters on Mars
This is a list of craters on Mars . Impact craters on Mars larger than 1 km exist by the hundreds of thousands, but only about one thousand of them have names. [1] Names are assigned by the International Astronomical Union after petitioning by relevant scientists, and in general, only craters that have a significant research interest are given names. Martian craters are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors, or if less than 60 km in diameter, after towns on Earth . Craters cannot be named for living people, and names for small craters are rarely intended to commemorate a specific town. [2] Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.
