MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 4, 2011

o The Western Wall of Holden Crater

  Hydrothermal deposits may represent evidence for a habitable
  environment on Mars.

o Exposures of Layered Rocks in the Argyre Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021947_1300

  This observation shows great exposures of layered rocks in
  Argyre region. Could it be evidence for an ancient sea or lake?

o New Impact Cluster
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022057_2070

  With the combination of CTX and HiRISE monitoring, a crucial aspect
  of Mars science is being detailed for the first time -- the current
  surface cratering rate.
