MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
April 20, 2011

o Central Peak of Elorza Crater	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021551_1710

  This crater just north of Ophir Cavus may have intact layering in its 
  central uplift just as several other Valles Marineris craters do.

o The Fun of Change Detection	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021733_1275

  Seeing evidence that material has recently moved on the Martian surface 
  is a reminder that Mars is a dynamic, changing planet.

o Sorted Boulders

  The origins of these boulder fields is not entirely clear, but may be 
  the result of a thinner soil layer overlying the eroding bedrock.
