ICYMI: Happy New Year! (If You’re a Martian) The Martian new year arrives with the Red Planet’s vernal equinox. Explaining why requires a deep dive into celestial mechanics and Earth’s calendrical history scientificamerican.com/article/happy-…
A first look at rocks from the lunar farside create a volcanic mystery: Rocks returned by China’s Chang’e-6 mission are just 2.8 billion years old - sciencenews.org/article/first-…
HiRISE 3D: A Fresh 500-meter Diameter Impact Crater Now, who doesn’t like a 3D image of an impact crater? (If you know anyone, start naming names.) Full image: uahirise.org/anaglyph/ESP_0… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science
Abounding in Megabreccia! This image offers us unique color coverage of the beautifully exposed and sharp-edged megabreccias. The breccia in this observation appear be layered and have structure. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science
HiRISE 3D: Possible Hydrothermal Setting in Northeast Syrtis Major Large fractures and light-toned materials are on full display in this 3D image. Full image: uahirise.org/anaglyph/ESP_0… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #3D
A Channel West of Eberswalde Crater This observation focuses on the transition from a smaller to a larger channel or valley in one of the feeder channels upstream of the Eberswalde delta. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #NASA
HiRISE 3D: Pits Sourcing a Channel This image shows collapse pits at the edge of an infilled basin adjacent to the heavily faulted Ceraunius Fossae. These pits may be volcanic. uahirise.org/anaglyph/ESP_0… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #3D
Chaos Terrain near Hecates Tholus The blocks/pieces here could formerly have been part of the flank of Hecates Tholus and they could have been flipped during their possibly violent creation. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #NASA
HiRISE 3D: Nirgal Vallis Headwaters Our goal is to take a look at the head wall of the origin of Nirgal Vallis and also to look for layers and small scale erosional features. uahirise.org/anaglyph/ESP_0… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars
Brain Terrain on the Floor of a Crater The objective of this observation is to examine “brain terrain” on part of the floor of a crater in Claritas Fossae. Pictures like this can help us understand past climate. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona
Scalloped Depressions with Layers This image, of the northern plains of Mars, is marked by depressions in a layer of material that covers the region. The depressions have scalloped edges and layers in their walls. uahirise.org/hipod/PSP_0024… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona
Debris Flows on Mars Channels are found all around Hale Crater. The largest channels were there before the formation of Hale, such as Uzboi Vallis. uahirise.org/hipod/PSP_0070… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #NASA
Once a Pedestal Crater Also available in Context Camera data, the objective of this observation is to examine a pedestal crater that has part of its ejecta eroded away. Due to this, perhaps layers have been exposed. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona
Flow Features in Bakhuysen Crater In this area near the crater rim, high resolution of really nice flow features also visible in Context Camera data can help us understand how these features relate to the emplacement of ejecta deposits. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… #Mars #science
Those Climbing Dunes This observation featrues some awesome little barchan train climbing up a gully in Hebes Chasma. Some of our science goals are to quantify annual changes, sand fluxes and monitor nearby recurring slope lineae. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0755… #Mars #science
Chryse Chaos In planetary nomenclature, the term “chaos” means “distinctive area of broken terrain.” The general shape of chaos terrain is steep-sided mesas in close proximity to one another. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0544… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #NASA
Delta-Like Lobes in Aeolis Dorsa Branching fluvial deposits appear similar to others at Aeolis Dorsa which have been interpreted as delta-like. Elevation models can help to measure deposit thicknesses more accurately. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_0541… NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
Layers in Eberswalde Crater The bright layers are part of a scarp at the eastern edge of a delta. Some of the steeper slopes visible at the edge of the fan may be coarser-grained resistant channel ridges. uahirise.org/hipod/PSP_0040… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars
Ares Vallis Cataract The horseshoe-shaped headcut here is only part of a larger cataract system, and probably formed during the last stage of flooding. The inner channels are now filled with dunes. uahirise.org/hipod/PSP_0035… NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science
