Secondary Craters
This image of a southern mid-latitude crater was intended to investigate the lineated material on the crater floor. At the higher resolution of HiRISE, the image reveals a landscape peppered by small impact craters.
Layers in Blocks
The objective of this observation is to examine layers exposed in small blocks and in a butte in eastern Arabia Terra, in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars.
Banded Terrain in Hellas Planitia
This image shows a portion of an enigmatic formation called banded terrain, which is only observed in the northwest of the Hellas basin.
Layered Bedrock
This un-named crater in southwestern Arabia Terra contains a treasure!
Layered sediments are the key to the puzzle of Martian history. They tell us about the conditions that existed when the sediments were deposited, and how they changed over time.
Layered Deposits and Wind Ripples
These impact craters in the northern middle latitudes have interesting interiors: all of them have wind-blown (aeolian) ripples. …
Plains South of Valles Marineris
This enhanced-color sample reveals the incredible diversity of landforms on some Martian plains that appear bland and uniform at larger scales.
Light-Toned Layering in a Noctis Labyrinthus Pit
Understanding both the spatial and temporal distribution of hydrated (water-bearing) minerals on Mars is essential for deciphering the…
Light-Toned Materials on the Floor of Coprates Chasma
These enhanced-color views are part of the floor of Coprates Chasma in giant Valles Marineris. A single image…
On the Inside of Cassini Crater
Our objective is to learn more about some of the layers here in the 415-kilometer diameter Cassini Crater.
Into Tader Valles
We should see a number of tributaries emptying into a carved channel into one of the main river channels of Tader Valles.
