o Martian Morse Code http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_044675_2580 The shape and orientation of dunes can usually tell us about wind direction, but in this image, the dune-forms are very complex. o Glowing Gullies in Kaiser Crater Dunes http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_045324_1325 The giant sand dunes in Kaiser Crater experience gully erosion of the steep slip faces every year in late winter as the sun warms the slopes. o Bedrock North of Terby Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_045335_1535 These may be some of the oldest rocks exposed at the Martian surface. o Dreaming of Graben in the Labyrinth of the Night http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_045605_1715 Noctis Labyrinthus is a highly tectonized region immediately to the west of Valles Marineris. It formed when Mars' crust stretched itself apart. 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 our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
