MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES April 8, 2015
o Sinuous Ridge Materials in Reuyl Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039424_1700 There are some interesting erosional signs in this observation, which will make for a good comparison with other intracrater fans. o What on Mars is a High Thermal-Inertia Surface? http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039485_1660 What do we mean when we describe a surface as having "high thermal inertia"? The term refers to the ability of a material to conduct and store heat. o Layers and Dark Dunes http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039581_1520 The target of this observation is a circular depression in a dark-toned unit associated with a field of cones to the northeast. o Seasonal Flows in the Central Mountains of Hale Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040170_1440 Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are active flows on warm Martian slopes that might be caused by seeping water. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
