  Hydrothermal deposits may represent evidence for a habitable 
  environment on Mars.  

o Exposures of Layered Rocks in the Argyre Region	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021947_1300

  This observation shows great exposures of layered rocks in 
  Argyre region. Could it be evidence for an ancient sea or lake?

o New Impact Cluster

  With the combination of CTX and HiRISE monitoring, a crucial aspect 
  of Mars science is being detailed for the first time -- the current 
  surface cratering rate.
