THEMIS: Sirenum Fossae
THEMIS Image of the Day, July 3, 2015. The linear features in this VIS image are faults. Where depressions are formed bounded by faulting the feature is called a graben. These faults and graben are part of a large region … Continue reading

HiRISE: Fresh crater near Sirenum Fossae
This impact crater appears relatively recent as it has a sharp rim and well-preserved ejecta. The steep inner slopes are carved by gullies and include possible recurring slope lineae on the equator-facing slopes. Fresh craters often have steep, active slopes, … Continue reading

THEMIS: Sirenum Fossae
THEMIS Image of the Day, May 28, 2015. The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations … Continue reading

THEMIS: Sirenum Fossae
THEMIS Image of the Day, October 21, 2014. The linear depression in the center of this VIS image is a graben — a fault-bounded block of material. The graben crosses the crater and ejecta in the middle of the image, … Continue reading
