A Fluvial Feature to the North of Hellas Planitia — The high-standing ridges suggest that their material is more resistant to the surrounding terrain.

A Sample of Pock-Marked Terrain
This difficult terrain is within a large impact crater that is side-by-side with another crater. This image is located to northwest of the Hellas impact basin in the southern latitudes of Mars.

A Distinctive Lobe – The lobe around this smaller crater is quite interesting and even shows some breccia clasts.

Parabolic Crater Ejecta – Interesting that these impact craters have their ejecta (the dark portions) oriented in the same general direction. Hmmm...

Light-Toned Material in Aram Chaos – Aram Chaos mainly comprises a heavily eroded impact crater on Mars. It lies at the eastern end of the large canyon Valles Marineris and close to Ares Vallis. Various geological processes have reduced it to a circular area of chaotic terrain.

Standing above It All — This is within Mclaughlin Crater, where possible delta deposits are located. If accurate, the delta would have been created hundreds of millions of years ago.

Apron of a Middle Fan in Ostrov Crater — These higher-standing ridges were more resistant to erosion here in Ostrov Crater, which is located in Margaritifer Terra, south of the equator. Portions of this crater look smooth in other images. (Note: the crater in this image is *not* Ostrov).

Outcrops in Mawrth Vallis
One of the oldest valleys on Mars, Mawrth Vallis holds special interest because of the presence of clay minerals which form only in the presence of water.

Possible Well-Exposed Ejecta of a Crater in Noachis Terra — The exposure of the ejecta as well as possible breccia (large, jumbled rocks) are at a fine scale in this image.

Gullies in a Crater along a Trough Near Mariner Crater
The objective of this observation is to examine gullies in a crater that sits on the edge of a trough. Gullies are found at other places along this trough system, so by imaging these craters we can determine the the nature of the layer that is producing the gullies.

An ExoMars Landing Site
HiRISE plays an important role in finding suitable landing sites for future rover missions. Scientists have narrowed down the candidate landing sites for the upcoming European ExoMars rover mission to two regions: the plains of Oxia and Mawrth Vallis.
HiRISE pictures help to assess the risk for each particular location so that a final landing site can be selected.

To Catalog the Dunes – Believe it or not, the United States Geological Survey does enter these dunes into a global dune database. The reason? “ Dunes are particularly suited to comprehensive planetary studies because they are abundant over a wide range of elevations and terrain types. Thus a global scale study of Martian dunes serves a dual purpose in furthering understanding of both climatic and sedimentary processes.”
Sounds good to us!

Tell-Tale Bedrock in Tyrrhena Terra — Geologists study the central peaks of craters because the uplifted bedrock was once deep within the Martian crust.

The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971.
Notorious criminals such as Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. At its completion, the building was the largest and most expensive public structure ever erected, and quickly became a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide.

Layered Bedrock in the Meridiani Region (Mars)
Prior to acquiring this observation of the Meridiani region in 2010, we didn’t have any images of this particular area. It was also selected as good place for a nadir observation, which is when the camera is pointing straight down.
