Wed Aug 13, 2008 at 20:00 UTC
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.
