MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
June 20, 2012

o Rough Surfaces in Deuteronilus Mensae
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025174_2245

  The objective of this observation is to examine what may be
  formerly ice-rich terrain that has just lost ice to the atmosphere.

o Exploring Antoniadi Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025331_2005

  Antoniadi Crater was identified, even prior to the MRO mission, as
  a likely ancient lake (now dry) that was supplied by both surface
  water and ground water.

o Ridges in Meridiani Planum
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025386_1800

  When terrain gets squeezed by geologic forces deep rocks sometimes
  break and get pushed upwards forming raised wrinkles on the surface.

o Colorful Layers in Nili Fossae

  This enhanced-color version of the central part of the HiRISE image
  shows colorful layers that may contain carbonate minerals.
