MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 16, 2013

o Fretted Terrains and Ground Deformation

  This observation shows an excellent example of what is called 
  "fretted terrain," termed so because of the eroded appearance 
  of the surface.

o Bedding Details in Layered Rock

  This beautiful image shows terrific layers and exposed bedrock 
  along a cliff in west Candor Chasma, which is part of the 
  extensive Valles Marineris canyon system.

o Possible Impacts from MSL Hardware

  This cluster of small impact craters was spotted by the Context 
  Camera on MRO in the region northwest of Gale Crater, the landing 
  site of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity.

o Fall Frosting

  It was fall in the Southern hemisphere when this image was acquired 
  and the dunes are frosted with the first bit of carbon dioxide ice 
  condensed from the atmosphere.
