MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
February 5, 2014

o Channels in Phlegra Montes

  Also visible in a Context Camera image, pictures like this can 
  help us understand the fluvial and climate history of ancient Mars.

o Fall Frost Accumulation on Russell Crater Dunes 
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034234_1255

  Russell Crater dunes are a favorite target for HiRISE not only 
  because of their incredible beauty, but for how we can measure the 
  accumulation of frost year after year.

o A Spectacular New Impact Crater and Its Ejecta 
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034285_1835

  This beautiful image shows a large, rayed blast zone around a 30-meter 
  diameter crater, probably formed between 2010 and 2012.

o Squiggly Sand Dunes 
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034801_1300

  It is now late Northern spring on Mars, so the Southern middle latitudes 
  get very low-sun illumination that accentuates subtle topography.

All of the HiRISE images are archived here:
