It is as Morguana said. It's merely where they put together two photos of the same terrain that just have different lighting. The line is straight from top to bottom and the same lighting difference is seen in the surface as well.

Besides, if they wanted to hide something, I think they would do a better job of it so that it didnt look obvious. Anyone with any skill whatsoever in photoshop could could black out that crater much smoother than this.
