MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES April 20, 2011
o Central Peak of Elorza Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021551_1710 This crater just north of Ophir Cavus may have intact layering in its central uplift just as several other Valles Marineris craters do. o The Fun of Change Detection http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021733_1275 Seeing evidence that material has recently moved on the Martian surface is a reminder that Mars is a dynamic, changing planet. o Sorted Boulders http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021862_1175 The origins of these boulder fields is not entirely clear, but may be the result of a thinner soil layer overlying the eroding bedrock. 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.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
