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. 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 https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
