Has anyone played around with the HiRISE PDS release images yet? More specifically, color images? I have no time to do anything.

...all I can think of is some sort of deep fracture, which drained them rather rapidly.
And actually, this begs a question: Why don't we see diffusion features at the end of these things, like deltas? Does the putative water evaporate and/or freeze so quickly that they never get to form? The abrupt terminations are odd in themselves... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Does the putative water evaporate and/or freeze so quickly that they never get to form? I'd have characterized these as dry slope streaks, no water involved. But that terminus seems weird. Only thing I could think of is some topography below the limit of resolution (some kind of a ridge or dike maybe.) -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
