While the crater's rings don't spell its age, the patterns within the crater can help researchers to better understand what makes up its structure and what has happened on Mars throughout its history.
One thing scientists think they can tell so far about the crater is that it is chock-full of deposits rich in water ice; deposits that were laid much earlier in the planet's history,from ESA. They think that these deposits in the impact crater settled there when they did because of how the planet's tilt, or spin axis, has changed over time.
In fact, the crater's"rings" and noticeable cracks are likely due to environmental changes over time. Researchers think that these features are the result of changing seasons and temperatures, causing the material in the crater to expand and contract with the heat and cold. TGO arrived at Mars in 2016 as part of ESA's ExoMars missions to study the planet from its orbit and its surface. The mission continues to deliver images like this as well as data regarding Mars' atmosphere, geology, surface, history and more.
