MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 22, 2014
o What Gullies Can Say
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_027989_1425
Right past the sharp, but warped rim of this ancient impact crater
are deposits of winter frost, which show up as blue in enhanced color.
o The Busy Flank of Arsia Mons
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_031944_1790
This observation shows an incredible diversity of ancient lava tubes
and impact craters filled with sediment on the flank of Arsia Mons.
o At the Edge of a Polar Cap
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035926_2640
Formative down-slope winds descending on Mars' North Polar ice cap
likely play an important role in transporting sediment.
o Global Eyes on an Impact Prize
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036059_1835
Finding a new dark spot with the Mars Color Imager, HiRISE can
literally zoom in to show better details of a new impact crater, an
example of coordination among science teams.
