MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES July 15, 2015
o Frosty Gullies on the Northern Plains http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040811_2410 Seasonal frost commonly forms at middle and high latitudes on Mars, much like winter snow on Earth. o Potential Active Processes in Porter Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040885_1295 On the northern slopes are several smaller slope features that have a morphology hinting at recurring slope lineae. o Sedimentary Deposits within Ius Chasma http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040976_1725 Most of the larger chasmata contain kilometer-thick light-toned layered deposits composed of sulfates, but it's a bit different here in Ius Chasma. o Purple Mountain's Majesty http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_041088_1535 This small mountain is located near the northeastern rim of the giant Hellas impact basin, and could be impact ejecta. 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 our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and 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
