MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 16, 2013

o Fretted Terrains and Ground Deformation
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_017154_1390

  This observation shows an excellent example of what is called
  "fretted terrain," termed so because of the eroded appearance
  of the surface.

o Bedding Details in Layered Rock
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_017174_1730

  This beautiful image shows terrific layers and exposed bedrock
  along a cliff in west Candor Chasma, which is part of the
  extensive Valles Marineris canyon system.

o Possible Impacts from MSL Hardware
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033293_1755

  This cluster of small impact craters was spotted by the Context
  Camera on MRO in the region northwest of Gale Crater, the landing
  site of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity.

o Fall Frosting
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033371_1080

  It was fall in the Southern hemisphere when this image was acquired
  and the dunes are frosted with the first bit of carbon dioxide ice
  condensed from the atmosphere.
