HiRISE BeautifulMars (NASA)
Images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NASA). We are based out of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ. https://uahirise.org
- Cross-Section of a Complex Crater This image shows a cross-section of a complex crater in Terra Cimmeria, including central peaks and terraces on part of the rim. More: uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_05... NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #NASA
- Streamlined Shapes The objective of this observation is to observe streamlined forms. This scene is also avaiable in Context Camera imagery data. ID: ESP_076000_2115 date: 13 October 2022 altitude: 290 km uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_07... NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science
- Source of a Channel in the Low Southern Latitudes The objective of this observation is to examine the spot where a channel appears to begin. The channel quickly gets much larger and then empties in an old crater. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_07... NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science
- Possible Inverted Terrain in Hesperia Planum The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of a straight ridge within a very shallow and eroded impact crater. The ridge moves straight out from the crater wall. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_07... NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona
- HiRISE 3D: Canyon Walls in Coprates Chasma From the rationale: We are exploring mission concepts that would explore geology in Coprates Chasma, including deposits of hydrated materials and early crustal exposures in valley walls and floor units. www.uahirise.org/anaglyph/ESP... #Mars #NASA
- Transverse Dunes There are not many “purely” transverse dunes on Mars. Most dunes seem to be formed by more than one wind, so they can get messy. This dune field seems to be an exception to that: barchanoid dunes coalesce into straight-crested dunes. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_07... #Mars #NASA
