    The Mars Global Surveyor, active from 1997 to 2006, was the first spacecraft able to image Mars in high enough resolution to detect new impacts, with a resolution of up to 1.5 meters (4.9 ft). The first detected impact, a 14.4-meter (47 ft)-diameter crater in southern Lucus Planum , happened between 27 January 2000, and 19 March 2001. [ 2 ]

    Eventually erosion removes the covering layer. The former streams become visible since they are resistant to erosion. Mars Global Surveyor found several examples of this process. [26] Many inverted streams have been discovered in various regions of mars, especially in the Medusae Fossae Formation, [27] Miyamoto Crater, [28] and the Juventae ...
