MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
May 6, 2015
o Slope Streaks on a Dusty Planet
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040386_1915
The dark streaks on the slopes are locations where the dust has
slumped downhill revealing a less dusty surface underneath.
o On the Beauty of Yardangs
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040504_1920
The long, straight ridges form on Mars (and Earth) when the wind
strips away the inter-ridge material.
o Warm-Season Flows in Cold-Season Ravines
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040590_1335
Ravines (or very large gullies) are actively forming on Mars during
the coldest times of year, when carbon dioxide frost aids mass wasting.
o Darn Dust!
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040645_1240
While we had planned to take an image of sinuous ridges, dust clouds had
other things in mind.
All of the HiRISE images are archived here:

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.
