MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 25, 2011

o Fans on Lobes in Argyre Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020892_1275

  At the resolution of HiRISE, we are able to see surface and fan
  details in this observation.

o Well-Preserved Gullied Impact Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021676_1430

  This observation shows us pristine gullies, some with bright
  deposits, and perhaps very recent.

o Light-Toned Sedimentary Rocks Exposed in Syrtis Major Region Scarp
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021757_1975

  These rocks look similar to those in other clay-bearing terrains on
  Mars and may represent a once extensive deposit that covered the region.

o Spirit, Spirit, Shining Bright
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021925_1650

  This observation catches the NASA Mars Exploration Rover Spirit gleaming
  in the sun beside Home Plate inside Gusev Crater. It also catches a dust
  devil in action.
