Context image This VIS image shows part of the rim of an unnamed crater in Terra Sirenum. A group of channels dissects the rim in the center of the image. These channels are called gullies due to being on a steep slope rather than a flat river plain. In some images it is possible

Context image Today’s VIS image shows a complete cross section of Ius Chasma. Ius Chasma is at the western end of Valles Marineris. Valles Marineris is over 4000 kilometers long, wider than the United States. Ius Chasma is almost 850 kilometers long (528 miles), 120 kilometers wide and over 8 kilometers deep. In comparison,

Context image The windstreak at the top of this VIS image is located on the Tharsis volcanic flows east of Arsia Mons. Windstreaks form downwind of craters and other topographic highs. Surface winds are deflected by the crater rim into chaotic flow over and around the crater, both removing and depositing dust and sand.

Context image Today’s VIS image shows a portion of Sirenum Fossae. The linear features are tectonic graben. Graben are formed by extension of the crust and faulting. When large amounts of pressure or tension are applied to rocks on timescales that are fast enough that the rock cannot respond by deforming, the rock breaks

Context image Located between the lava plains of Daedalia Planum and Solis Planum, Claritas Fossae is a graben-filled highland. Graben are formed by tectonic activity, where extensional forces stretch the surface allowing blocks of material to slide down between paired faults. These linear grabens are termed fossae. This region of Mars had very active

Context image Today’s VIS image shows part of Gale Crater, including the large layered deposit on the crater floor. This deposit has been heavily eroded, which exposed the layering. The Curiosity Rover is located in Gale Crater. Gale crater is 150km (90 miles) in diameter. Orbit Number: 92243 Latitude: -4.91547 Longitude: 137.678 Instrument: VIS
