The following new images taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft are now available:
- Dusty Top of Alba Patera Volcano
This HiRISE image shows a small portion of the rim of the caldera at the top of the volcano Alba Patera. - Floor of Kasei Valles
This HiRISE image shows a wonderfully complex surface on the floor of this ancient flood-carved canyon. - Flows in Athabasca Valles Source Region
Thin flows cover the plains just north of the source region for the Athabasca Valles channel system. - Lobate Debris Apron in Tempe Terra/Mareotis Fossae
This image shows a portion of a large lobate debris apron along the bottom of a hill in the Tempe Terra/Mareotis Fossae region of Mars. - Different Types of Gullies
This image covers parts of two different craters, both with gullies in the inner walls. Gullies are a popular target because their formation is still being debated.
