MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 13, 2016
o Erosion and Deposition in Schaeberle Crater
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042527_1555
This image shows a window into the history of the crater's
fill deposit, showcasing eroding bedrock and aeolian landforms.
o Ancient Rivers
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042924_2195
Early in Martian history, liquid water energetically carved the
surface, forming channel systems that look remarkably similar to river
valleys and drainage networks on Earth.
o Mars 2020 Candidate Landing Site in McLaughlin Crater
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043136_2020
McLaughlin Crater straddles three major terrain types: the Northern
lowlands, the Southern highlands and the Mawrth Vallis region.
o A Young, Fresh Crater in Hellespontus
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043398_1600
At 1.3 kilometers in diameter, this unnamed crater is only slightly larger
than Arizona's Meteor Crater.
