MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES August 12, 2015
o Light-Toned Layers in Tithonium Chasma http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_041886_1755' Approximately 800 kilometers long, Tithonium Chasma is part of the massive Valles Marineris canyon system. o Ridge and Talus in Lycus Sulci http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_041901_2065 This image nicely captures several influential geologic processes that have shaped the landscape of Lycus Sulci. o Yardang-Sculpted Deposits from Apollonaris Patera http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_041929_1675 We see here a terrain with an incredible morphologic dichotomy: a relatively smooth region that transitions into sharp ridges. 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 our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and 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
