MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 13, 2016

o Erosion and Deposition in Schaeberle Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042527_1555

  This image shows a window into the history of the crater's
  fill deposit, showcasing eroding bedrock and aeolian landforms.

o Ancient Rivers
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042924_2195

  Early in Martian history, liquid water energetically carved the
  surface, forming channel systems that look remarkably similar to river
  valleys and drainage networks on Earth.

o Mars 2020 Candidate Landing Site in McLaughlin Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043136_2020

  McLaughlin Crater straddles three major terrain types: the Northern
  lowlands, the Southern highlands and the Mawrth Vallis region.

o A Young, Fresh Crater in Hellespontus
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043398_1600

  At 1.3 kilometers in diameter, this unnamed crater is only slightly larger
  than Arizona's Meteor Crater.
