MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES December 9, 2015
o The Coming and Going of Ice http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042440_1380 The knobby, pitted terrain is caused when ice is deposited and then sublimates over and over again. o Strange Patterns in Echus Chasma http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042835_1800 This image shows bright and dark patterns with curving boundaries, a good example of Mars art. What caused this appearance? o Curiosity Trek http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043539_1755 The Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, continues its exciting traverse of Mars. Here, we highlight some of its stops. o Inverted Streams in the Aeolis Region http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_002424_1765 The sinuous ridges in this image display strong characteristics of ancient meandering riverbeds that are preserved as inverted topography. 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.
