Brief Abstract Summary

On the basis of our mapping in Hinemoa Planitia, NW of Phoebe Regio in the eastern part of the Beta-Atla-Themis region, we have studied and mapped multiple bright splotches (craterless blast haloes) in detail. Preliminary analysis suggests an atmospheric breakup of a large projectile during an oblique impact event.
