MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES January 28, 2015
o Gullies Old and New Near the Argyre Region http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038931_1355 As gullies form on slopes, sediment can become deposited to form lobe-shaped fans. o Higher Terrain between Sinai and Solis Plana http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038932_1635 The area is riddled with faults and ridges that look like uncovered magma dikes. o Filled Crater and Scallops http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038967_1230 These scallop formations might be possibly due to ground ice sublimation. o Pits in Hale Crater Ejecta http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039524_1445 The pits visible here aren't impact craters. The material they're embedded into is ejecta from a large crater called Hale. 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
