MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES April 22, 2015
o Slope Monitoring in Aram Chaos http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039655_1835 Images such as this one allow us to test whether these streaks grow seasonally and recur annually. o Embayment in Tectonized Fluvial Terrain http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039658_1425 This observation will help scientists unravel the timing for the emplacement of the younger material and the numerous tectonic faults here. o Sinuous Ridge on the Orson Welles Bajada http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039867_1805 The sinuosity of the ridges tells us something about the speed of the water flow: fast moving flows tend to be straighter than slow-moving. o Layering in Spallanzani Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040258_1215 Seeing layering is always exciting to geologists because it implies that the region has experienced multiple climatic conditions or geologic processes through time. o Latest View of Curiosity Rover in Gale Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040770_1755 We periodically image the Curiosity rover and its surroundings, monitoring for changes such as from active dunes. 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
