There are seven of these. They are not holes but redacted portions of the images. The same regions were imaged by other satellites and should be compared.

You see a bug hole, NUKE IT!

Shoot a nuke down a bug hole, you got a lot of dead bugs.

More importantly, did they find Ben Affleck’s career?

Looks like a hole in the ozone!

What ever are the Martians doing?

A very dark spot on Mars could be an entrance to a deep hole or cavern, according to scientists studying imagery taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

That's weird, someone said there were smoking holes near Grover's Mill, New Jersey also.

It looks like some company paid to have that painted black. Which company has a black dot for its logo?

The Planetary Society showed seven of these on its news release. They are blacked out regions of the image. A couple of them are clearly craters but all are 0000 black.

It’s a good thing I posted this in chat.

I was wondering what kind of critter might live in that hole? Yikes!

It looks like the photogarpher’s pen leaked on the picture to me.

330 feet (100 meters) across

330 X 330 feet happens to be the standard size of an aliquot 2.5 acre lot. These are roundish so would be a little less than 2.5 acres, but you are looking at standard gov't lot homesites as they would appear on Mars.
