MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o Viewing Dingo Gap

  Curiosity (MSL) just passed through the gap, crossing over a dune 
  that's visible from orbit.

o Bright Sediments on the Floor of Ladon Basin

  Scientists think that the basin may have once filled with water 
  before another channel to the north formed and drained it.

o Which Came First, the Yardang or the Platy Flow?

  One of the great strengths of HiRISE is that its high resolution can 
  help resolve interesting questions.

o Dunes Flying in Formation

  What might migratory birds, World War II aircraft, and dunes on Mars 
  have in common?
