MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
June 8, 2011

o Craters and Landslides
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022205_1625

  This observation show a small crater on the rim of a larger crater
  that appears to have triggered multiple landslides at the time of impact.

o Distinct Gullies

  HiRISE resolution can help us view fine-scale morphology as well as
  change detection.

o Mawrth Vallis Strata Exposed in Small Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022288_2035

  This image covers strata with interesting geometry exposed in a small
  crater in the large crater west of the proposed Mars Science Laboratory
  ellipse.

o Active Sand in Nili Patera
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022364_1890

  Some of the linear ripples on these dunes moving, confirming they are
  active in the current climate conditions.
