MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 29, 2013

o Endeavour Crater Western Rim
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/dtm/dtm.php?ID=ESP_018701_1775

  This digital terrain model covers the western rim of Endeavour Crater
  where the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has been investigating
  since 2011.

o Active Slope Flows on the Central Hills of Hale Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_031203_1440

  In some cases, there are many seasonal flows on warm slopes, suggesting
  some role for water in their activity.

o Crater with Debris Aprons in Tyrrhena Terra
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_031805_1545
  
  The interior rims of this crater are lined with debris aprons consisting
  of material eroded from the alcoves at the top of the crater walls.

o Valleys in Tyrrhena Terra
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_031817_1410

  These valleys are very different in appearance compared to the very old,
  large, and well-developed valley networks on Mars.
