There's a thing near the center of the APOD image on 2024 July 27. What's its name? (The answer is in the description. Apologies for this puzzle but the bots are getting smart): This question is a means of preventing automated form submissions by spambots.

Young Lava Flows (ESP_054668_1865)

This image shows remarkably young lava flows in Elysium Planitia. There are almost no impact craters over this flow, indicating that it is probably only a few million years old—practically an infant in geologic time.

Sometimes we see a field of boulders rather than bedrock, as in this image.
