MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
February 5, 2014

o Channels in Phlegra Montes

  Also visible in a Context Camera image, pictures like this can
  help us understand the fluvial and climate history of ancient Mars.

o Fall Frost Accumulation on Russell Crater Dunes
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034234_1255

  Russell Crater dunes are a favorite target for HiRISE not only
  because of their incredible beauty, but for how we can measure the
  accumulation of frost year after year.

o A Spectacular New Impact Crater and Its Ejecta
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034285_1835

  This beautiful image shows a large, rayed blast zone around a 30-meter
  diameter crater, probably formed between 2010 and 2012.

o Squiggly Sand Dunes

  It is now late Northern spring on Mars, so the Southern middle latitudes
  get very low-sun illumination that accentuates subtle topography.
