caption_attribution_description: English: Map of Elysium quadrangle, Mars. The small, colored rectangles represent image footprints for the narrow angle camera on the Mars Global Surveyor. Some are about 1 mile wide, the otheers are about 2 miles wide. The map was made by the U.S. Geological survey for NASA.
context_page_description: Eddie Crater is a crater in the Elysium quadrangle of Mars at 12.3° north latitude and 217.9° west longitude. It is 89 km in diameter and was named after Lindsay Eddie, a South African astronomer.
  Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits. As craters get larger they usually have a central peak, as this crater has. The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact. It contains material uplifted from beneath the surface.
  The InSight Mars landing 2018 was south and west of Eddie crater.

  Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits.  As craters get larger (greater than 10 km in diameter) they usually have a central peak, as this crater has. The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact.  It contains material uplifted from beneath the surface.
  The InSight Mars landing 2018 was south and west of Eddie crater.
