MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 9, 2014

o Rippled Surfaces on a Slope in Coloe Fossae
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033599_2160

  The rippled surfaces here are a stark contrast to the fretted 
  terrain on the valley floor.

o Banded Ridges in Hellas

  These sorts of bands suggest that the surface material has flowed 
  and twisted viscously like taffy.

o The Obliquity of Mars (Periodic Bedding in Tithonium Chasma)	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034132_1750

  Do these layers do record ancient obliquity-driven climate change 
  on Mars?

o Curiosity Trekking

  In this most recent image of the MSL rover, the tracks are visible from 
  Yellowknife Bay to its location several kilometers to the southwest.
