MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 29, 2014

o RSLs and Colorful Fans along Coprates Chasma Ridge 	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_029226_1670
 
  This site along a Coprates Chasma ridge shows what are called 
  recurring slope lineae, or RSL.

o Sinuous Ridges and Meanders	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034189_1740

  These ridges are thought to be old river channels, but wind 
  erosion has created inverted topography.

o High-Altitude Clouds on Mars	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034342_1315

  The standard color images for this observation look really weird, 
  because what we're seeing are thin condensate clouds moving  
  relative to surface features.

o A Landing Site in Ladon Vallis	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034987_1595

  One of the important tasks HiRISE has is to image potential 
  landing sites for future rovers.
