The following new images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft are now available:
- Opportunity Imaged by HiRISE
This subimage, about 400 meters across, shows the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity (circled at lower left). - Mesa on a Mesa
This oval mesa is a remnant of a geological unit that once covered this area, similar to the mesas and buttes in Monument Valley, in Arizona and Utah. This is a small remnant of a much larger unit of similar material that caps Ganges Mensa to the west. - Ancient Volcano Defrosting
Malea Patera is one of a group of ancient volcanoes that ring the Hellas impact basin.
