MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES December 3, 2014
o Dunes and Wind Streaks in Arabia Terra http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037714_1935 Arabia Terra is one where ever-falling red dust covers the surface with minor variations in color and tone. o Braided TARs in Syrtis Major http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038227_2020 Transverse aeolian ridges (TARs) are commonly found throughout the Martian tropics, including rocky regions such as Syrtis Major. o An Enigmatic Feature in Athabasca Lava Flows http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038646_1805 Perhaps lava has intruded underneath this mound and pushed it up from beneath. o Clays along the Coprates Chasma Plateau http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038918_1650 Several of the deposits along the plateau have signatures of clays, which indicates that water was once here. 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
