HiRISE: Southeast Hale Crater ejecta
Southeast Hale Crater ejecta. This image can help us determine whether there are one or multiple ejecta lobes in this region. Hale Crater is often imaged by HiRISE for the presence of recurring slope lineae, or flows that may or … Continue reading

HiRISE: Recent impact site in Noachis Terra
This image shows a recent impact in Noachis Terra in the southern mid-latitudes of Mars. The impact occurred in dark-toned ejecta material from a degraded, 60-kilometer crater to the south. Rather than a single impact crater, we see multiple impacts … Continue reading

THEMIS: Noachis crater dunes
THEMIS Image of the Day, February 8, 2019. Sand dunes cover part of the floor of this unnamed crater in Noachis Terra. Their dark tint suggests they are relatively free of light-toned dust, hence probably active under winds currently. See … Continue reading
