MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 2, 2012
o Three Dust Devils
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_025985_2160
There are also bright lines present, representing the tracks of
dust devils that have already passed through this region.
o Colorful Uplifted Rocks
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026388_2300
Central peaks on Mars have some of the most diverse and distinctive
rock types.
o Layered Bedrock in Nili Fossae Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026570_2025
The differing colors indicate different rock types of alteration.
The darkest patches of ground probably consist of volcanic sand that
is trapped in relative low areas.
o A Flow Margin in Phlegra Dorsa
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_026738_2080
The Phlegra Dorsa region consists of ancient hills that have been
surrounded and partially buried by flows from the Cerberus Fossae
to the south.

Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is
online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is
managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division
of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA
Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed
Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor
and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the
University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies
Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument.
