Context image Today’s VIS image shows part of Ariadne’s Colles. The term colles means hills or knobs. The hills appear brighter than the surrounding lowlands, likely due to relatively less dust cover. Ariadnes Colles is located in Terra Cimmeria. Orbit Number: 92591 Latitude: -34.25 Longitude: 174.01 Instrument: VIS Captured: 2022-10-29 05:11 Please see the […]

Context image Today’s VIS image shows a small portion of the immense lava flows that originated from Arsia Mons. Arsia Mons is the southernmost of the three large aligned volcanoes in the Tharsis region. Arsia Mons’ last eruption was 10s of million years ago. The different surface textures are created by differences in the

Map Projected Browse ImageClick on image for larger version This impact disturbed dust over an area more than two kilometers wide, large enough to be visible in MARCI daily global images. The largest new crater is about 35 meters in diameter.making it about the 16th largest new crater found on Mars. By “new crater”

There’s a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure (the nose), two craters (the eyes), and a circular fracture pattern (the head). The circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of

Map Projected Browse ImageClick on image for larger version Gullies lying on the northeast slopes of Triolet Crater (about 11.6 km in diameter), are located in the Southern Highlands just east of Gorgonum Chaos. Some gullies have eroded through resistant layers up to the crater rim. At the downslope are fans of debris that

The valley was probably formed by a combination of surface collapse and flowing water. The edges of Harmakhis Vallis were enlarged by material slumping off the walls, and it was later

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
