The following new images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft are now available:
- Yardangs in Tithonium Chasma
This image shows yardangs on the floor of Tithonium Chasma. - Layered Bedrock with Possible Hydrated Sulfates
This image shows layered bedrock exposed in the upper reaches of a topographic ridge located in Coprates Chasma. - Inverted Fluvial Channels and Craters with Ejecta Rays
The lower part of this image shows well-defined overlapping channels, which have inverted topography. - Layered Bedrock in Walls of Ganges Mensa
The full range of the image shows clear evidence for a thick series of bedrock layers along the walls of Ganges Mensa, located in the Ganges Chasma portion of the large Valles Marineris chasm system. - Mysterious Bright and Dark Slope Streaks in Arabia Terra
This observation is of region between large craters in Arabia Terra, which is a large swath of bright (high albedo) terrain in the Martian cratered uplands. - Chasm in Gale Crater's Interior Mound
Gale Crater is a large (152 kilometer diameter) crater in the cratered highlands of Mars near the highland/lowland divide. - Fresh Crater
This image features a very fresh crater in the southern hemisphere.
