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? -------------------- |

Remarkable; thanks, Stu!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that an island in the middle of the channel? Hmmm exp hmmmm.... -------------------- 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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that an island in the middle of the channel? Hmmm exp hmmmm.... I could explain the lack of impact features to myself, since this is a small area presumably on a crater wall. But an island seems really interesting. Gale still gets my uneducated MSL vote. It's just more spectacular than the others. Is this actually Gale, or is it Hale? I saw a gullies in Hale image posted, didn't see Gale yet. |
