HiRISE images for July 1, 2009

The following new images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft are now available:

• Martian Zambonis?
  This image of Mars' south polar area shows an amazing series of elliptical rings. Could these have been made by a Zamboni on Mars driving around and around on the ice? No, of course not! But the answer in some ways more fun.
• Gullies on Southwest Slope of Ring Trough in Noachis Terra
  Geologically young gullies are a prime target for the HiRISE camera. Gullies are located in a variety of settings and are found all over Mars.
• Layering and Faulting in Melas Chasma Layered Deposits
• Light and Intermediate Toned Material Near Morava Valles
• Light Toned Rugged Intercrater Area in Viking Images 637A36 and 635A94
• Faulting in South Polar Layered Deposits
