Figure 6-12. The crater Stuart (30.8°S, 20.5°E) has a radar-dark parabola associated with it. The crater as a radar-bright floor and low emissivity, as do many of the craters with parabolic features. The parabola extends over 1000 km to the west and it covers all the underlying terrain. Radar illumination is from the left at an incidence angle of 33 deg.
