MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
December 9, 2015

o The Coming and Going of Ice
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042440_1380

  The knobby, pitted terrain is caused when ice is deposited
  and then sublimates over and over again.

o Strange Patterns in Echus Chasma
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042835_1800

  This image shows bright and dark patterns with curving boundaries,
  a good example of Mars art. What caused this appearance?

o Curiosity Trek
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043539_1755

  The Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, continues its exciting
  traverse of Mars. Here, we highlight some of its stops.

o Inverted Streams in the Aeolis Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_002424_1765

  The sinuous ridges in this image display strong characteristics of
  ancient meandering riverbeds that are preserved as inverted topography.
