MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
September 10, 2014
o Banded TARs in Iapygia
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020782_1610
The tropics of Mars are commonly littered with small bright
ripples that were somehow shaped by the wind.
o Chaos in Eridania Basin
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037142_1430
Eridania is the name of topographically enclosed basin located
in the Southern highlands of Mars that has been suggested to be
the site of a large ancient lake or inland sea.
o Mysterious Light-Toned Deposit in Vinogradov Crater
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037163_1590
The southeastern floor of Vinogradov Crater is covered with several
mysterious light-toned, sub-meter scale "blobs" that lack obvious
layering.
o Overlapping Lobate Lava Flows in Daedalia Planum
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037641_1560
The high-resolution of HiRISE images allows for reconstruction of
complex volcanic surfaces including geological relationships within
a flow field.
