HiRISE: Seasonal flows at Hale Crater central peak
Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are active flows on warm Martian slopes that might be caused by seeping water. One of the most active sites known on Mars in in the central peaks (uplifted mountains of deep bedrock) of Hale Crater. … Continue reading

HiRISE: Pits in Hale Crater ejecta
The pits visible here aren’t impact craters. The material they’re embedded into is ejecta (stuff thrown out of an impact crater when it forms) from a large crater called Hale which is not seen in this image. Substances called “volatiles” … Continue reading

HiRISE: Southeast rim of Hale Crater
In the search for potential areas with recurring slope lineae (RSL), which are probably caused by briny water, the central peak of Hale Crater is a common target. But we have no images of the southeast rim of the crater. … Continue reading
