MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
March 9, 2016

o The Northwest Floor of Gale Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043816_1750

  The light-toned deposits within the lobes of a small impact
   crater might contain hydrated minerals.

o The Southern Floor of Gale Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043961_1740

  An enigmatic deposit inside a small crater on the floor of Gale
  Crater appears to have flowed into the crater from the south.

o The Dune Sea of Ganges Chasma
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_044258_1715

  This image is at the eastern edge of a very large deposit of
  wind-blown dust that occupies Ganges Chasma.

o Night Vision

  This image was taken to look at seasonal frost in gullies during
  southern winter on Mars, with the Sun only about two degrees over
  the horizon, as opposed to the typical 15 degrees.
