MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
June 16, 2011

o Pit on the Eastern Flank of Pavonis Mons	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_019351_1795

  This image was suggested by Dennis Mitchell's seventh 
  grade Mars student team at Evergreen Middle School in 
  Cottonwood, California as part of the HiRISE Quest Student 
  Imaging Challenge.

o Light and Dark Bands in Darwin Crater	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022117_1225

  Dark streaks and dust devil tracks across much of the HiRISE 
  image indicate active sediment transport by wind processes.

o Light-Toned Units and Dunes, Meridiani Planum	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022208_1800

  Located in a small unnamed crater just west of Schiaparelli 
  impact crater, this observation shows a portion of the crater's 
  western slope and floor.

o Faulted, Layered Deposits in Candor Chasma	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022343_1735

  The light-toned layered material was likely deposited when 
  there was water in the Chasma.
