MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 16, 2013

o Seasonal Erosion

  Bright carbon dioxide frost (or, dry ice) highlights a network of channels
  carved into the surface.

o A Channel Emanating from a Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_029877_2160

  The origins of channels on Mars is of great interest to understand the
  history of water.

o Changing Dust Devil Tracks and Sand Streaks in Noachis Terra
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_030014_1245

  Sand dunes on Mars are studied for many reasons. Recent investigations have
  focused on dune and ripples movement.

o The Tracks of Curiosity
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_030168_1755

  This image was acquired for color coverage of the region that the Curiosity
  rover may explore, but we acquired some extra monochromatic coverage of the
  rover tracks.
