MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
February 15, 2012

o Uplifted Jumble of Ancient Bedrock
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025296_1535

  Impact craters larger than a certain size have complex forms,
  including central peaks or other structures that result from
  structural uplift of the target material.

o Search for Soviet Mars 6 Lander
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025387_1555

  Contact with the descent module was lost at 09:11:05 UT, about
  when expected to encounter the surface.

o Bedrock Exposures in Crater Wall

  Studying this site can yield information about the underlying
  terrain within this region.

o North Polar Layers in the Springtime

  This is an especially pretty image due to the color variations
  and lighting geometry.
