Social Share Crater Names

Socially Share Craters

We’ve made it easier to share your favorite crater names! Any named crater you find on the map – named by you or anyone else – can be shared through a variety of social networks.

Plus, we’ve recently added the ability to “Like” any crater on Facebook! Help increase the popularity of your favorite crater names and spread the word about Uwingu!

1. Explore the Mars map or search for a favorite crater name—yours or anyone’s

2. Click on the crater

3. When the info pops up, choose one of the icon buttons to share via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Email or other sites.

4. The result: Your friends, coworkers, and family will be able to see the feature you like. You can also let them know about new craters you name this way!

3. Scroll down to “Profile Picture” and upload a photo of yourself or something else you’d like to be your icon (and you can update this anytime)

4. At the bottom of the page, click the orange “Update Profile” button to save
