HiRISE images for August 13, 2008
Wednesday, August 13 2008
The following new images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft are now available:
- Fresh 5-Kilometer Diameter Rayed Crater
The crater featured in this scene formed on top of ejecta from a nearby rampart crater, located to the north. - Craters in Southeastern Syria Planum
This image shows two landforms that appear similar, but are the result of two very different geologic processes. - Cerberus Fossae Fissures
This image shows a part of the Cerberus Fossae, a system of aligned fissures east of Elysium. - Transverse Dunes in the Northern Lowlands
The Vastitas Borealis region, or northern lowlands, is a large area of low-lying surface that surrounds Mars' North Pole. - Mid-Latitude Gullies in Crater
Based on MOC image M17-01035, the gullies visible in this southern hemisphere crater were thought to occur on top of dunes.
