MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 10, 2012

o Double Depressions or Expanded Craters on the Northern Plains

  How did these double depressions form? Once idea is that the inner
  depressions correspond to impact craters, or the floor deposits of
  impact craters.

o What Is This?

  What are we looking at here? There are long linear ridges or elevated
  terrains covered by regular patterns of dark spots.

o Where Curiosity May Roam

  This observation is part of a series of color strips being acquired by
  HiRISE to support future traverse planning by the Curiosity rover.

o The Top of Coprates Chasma

  The colors indicate that diverse rock types are present.
