MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
February 12, 2014

o Viewing Dingo Gap
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_027834_1755

  Curiosity (MSL) just passed through the gap, crossing over a dune
  that's visible from orbit.

o Bright Sediments on the Floor of Ladon Basin
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034209_1605

  Scientists think that the basin may have once filled with water
  before another channel to the north formed and drained it.

o Which Came First, the Yardang or the Platy Flow?
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034255_1840

  One of the great strengths of HiRISE is that its high resolution can
  help resolve interesting questions.

o Dunes Flying in Formation

  What might migratory birds, World War II aircraft, and dunes on Mars
  have in common?
