MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 30, 2013

o Textured Crater Floor in the Arabia Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_024870_2080

  Surrounding the uplifted bedrock in the center of this large crater
  is mottled terrain. What possibly caused this?

o East Coprates Chasma Dune Fields and Wall Rock
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025164_1655

  One of the suggested goals for this observation was to investigate
  the relation of dune material with wall rock as a suspected sand source.

o A Crater Exposing Diverse Compositions
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_030079_1550

  The blue-green (infrared-shifted) colors indicate minerals like olivine
  and pyroxene, common in lava or subsurface intrusions of magma.

o MSL Curiosity on Sol 157 in Color
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_030313_1755

  This HiRISE observation was performed in conjunction with a CRISM
  observation so that they could get good spectral data on the scour zone
  created by the MSL descent rockets.
