THEMIS: Ganges Chasma false color
THEMIS Image of the Day, February 24, 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

HiRISE: Boulders in gully alcoves
Gullies are often found on steep slopes. In the winter, this area is covered with a layer of carbon dioxide ice (dry ice). In the spring, when the ice warms up and transitions to gas, it dislodges material on the … 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

HiRISE: Sedimentary fans north of Mojave Crater
In this observation, does the morphology of these possible sedimentary fans match those found in Mojave Crater? A high resolution image can be useful to determine systematic changes in boulder size (an indication of how much energy moved the sediment) … Continue reading
