This re-image shows a relatively youthful crater with some very large ejected boulders, big enough to see in Context Camera images. The rays are dark-toned: is this a textural feature or a tonal property of the ejected rock? There is plenty to look at and consider, especially regarding target properties and effects of the impact event on the local terrain, including light-toned layered rock of Meridiani Planum.
