MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES March 26, 2014
o A Dark-Toned, Pitted Mound in a Crater in Northeast Arabia Terra http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034970_2040 This fascinating observation shows us a dark-toned mound with pits inside an impact crater. Are these pits the result of sublimation? o A Large, Banded Angular Fragment in Nili Fossae http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035062_1995 HiRISE images of similar fragments nearby also show this banding, and the resolution of our camera may help determine what these layers are. o An Unusual Mound http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035078_2185 With its cracked, blistery appearance, this mound near the center of a very large crater poses an interesting question: how did this form? o Bedrock in a Trough in Asimov Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035777_1320 The crater appears to have been completely filled by a thick sequence of materials, perhaps including sediments and lava flows. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
