Busy preparing a new Outreach talk here, and have been trying to find some images to illustrate the "power" of HiRISE for a non-technical audience. Playing about with - sorry, carefully looking at the images on - the addictive Mars Global Data site I found a cute landslide on Xanthe Terra that does the trick nicely. Using the IAS Viewer you can zoom in on the boulders carried down the slope by the landslide and even see cracks and splits in them... unbelievable...!
Anyone else got any fave examples? -------------------- |

The camera developed a fault not long after science operations began. There has been an obvious deterioration in image quality as a result - images are much grainier and not as crisp.
Look at this first picture obtained of Spirit at Home Plate

Look at this first picture obtained of Spirit at Home Plate Many of the recent images are very noisy indeed. Others however, are still very good. This image of Gusev was taken just three months ago. http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_010097_1655
