MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
March 11, 2015

o Ares 3 and The Martian

  This region of Mars is actually far more diverse, interesting,
  and hazardous to drive over than depicted in Andy Weir's novel.

o Cracks in a Debris Apron

  The apron could be (or could have been) ice-rich, so one possibility
  is that the fissures are related to ice loss.

o Gullies and Layers in a Crater Near Mariner Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039555_1430

  Gullies are commonly found in the southern mid-latitudes of Mars.

o Recurring Slope Lineae in Raga Crater

  RSL are dark flows that disappear and re-form every Mars year at
  certain locations.
