MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
June 29, 2016

o Martian Morse Code

  The shape and orientation of dunes can usually tell us about
  wind direction, but in this image, the dune-forms are very complex.

o Glowing Gullies in Kaiser Crater Dunes
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_045324_1325

  The giant sand dunes in Kaiser Crater experience gully erosion of the
  steep slip faces every year in late winter as the sun warms the slopes.

o Bedrock North of Terby Crater

  These may be some of the oldest rocks exposed at the Martian surface.

o Dreaming of Graben in the Labyrinth of the Night

  Noctis Labyrinthus is a highly tectonized region immediately to the west
  of Valles Marineris. It formed when Mars' crust stretched itself apart.
