MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 12, 2011

o Sinuous Ridge in Malea Planum	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023578_1130

  Although largely dust covered, this sinuous unit may mark 
  the location of a stream that once flowed across the plains.

o Artynia Catena	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023597_2260

  One of the reasons for suggesting this target was to look for 
  evidence of pyroclastics around the rim of the pits.

o Scarp in Aurorae Chaos	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_023660_1710

  Aurorae Chaos is a large irregular depression consisting of 
  jumbled uplifted blocks, knobs, mounds and isolated mesas known as 
  chaotic terrains.

o Mars Sand Dune Changes	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_024025_2005

  Now that HiRISE has been returning data since 2006, it has been 
  able to document changes in the position of sand dunes and ripples on 
  the surface.
