MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
February 19, 2014

o Recurring Slope Lineae in Coprates Chasma

  These dark flows are abundant along the steep slopes of ancient
  bedrock in Coprates Chasma.

o Finding Faults in Melas Chasma
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_034883_1645

  With enough images, scientists hope to reconstruct the full history
  of this area and uncover the origin of one of Mars' most spectacular
  features.

o Chevrons on a Flow Surface in Marte Vallis

  Sometimes larger surface areas that are thicker can behave like rafts
  that are dragged along by earlier lava flow.

o Opportunity Rover on Valentine

  We see no obvious signs of a very recent crater in our image, but a
  careful comparison to prior images might reveal subtle changes.
