MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
August 13, 2014

o Glaciation at the Eastern Hellas Margin   
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_036947_1390

  Hellas Crater in the ancient highlands contains some of the 
  clearest evidence on Mars for glacial processes.

o The Side of Chasma Boreale
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037056_2650

  Comparing images like this to those taken in previous years and 
  in different seasons allows a more accurate understanding of 
  current surface processes on the Red Planet.

o An Irregular, Upright Boulder 
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037190_1765

  The trail has a odd repeating pattern, as if the boulder couldn't  
  roll straight due to its shape.

o Strange Cones and Flows   
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037222_1820

  The shapes of these regions are unusual, and the association with 
  cones suggest that the cones were source vents for local lava flows.

All of the HiRISE images are archived here:

[meteorite-list] Tall Boulder Rolls Down Martian Hill, Lands Upright (MRO)

2014-08-13 Thread Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list

Tall Boulder Rolls Down Martian Hill, Lands Upright
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
August 13, 2014

A track about one-third of a mile (500 meters) long on Mars shows where
an irregularly shaped boulder careened downhill to its current upright
position, seen in a July 3, 2014, image from the High Resolution Imaging
Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter.

The image is available online at:

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA18594

The shadow cast by the rock in mid-afternoon sunlight reveals it is
about 20 feet (6 meters) tall. In the downward-looking image, the
boulder is only about 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) wide. It happened to come
to rest with its long dimension vertical. The trail it left on the slope
has a pattern that suggests the boulder couldn't roll smoothly or
straight due to its shape.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute
of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for
NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. HiRISE, one of six
science instruments on the orbiter, is operated by the University of
Arizona, Tucson. The instrument was built by Ball Aerospace &
Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colorado.

[meteorite-list] Darryl Futrell (+2001) Gone but not forgotten

2014-08-13 Thread Bernd V. Pauli via Meteorite-list
Date: Saturday, 17 Apr 1999 

Darryl: "Barnes always attended meetings where O'Keefe wasn't
present, such as the Meteoritical Society annual meetings."

Bernd: "They seem to have engaged in the same feud as La Paz
   and Nininger. Why don't people live together peacefully?"
