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

That was the lunar press conference.
Right NOW - there is a teleconference about MRO - http://www.nasa.gov/news/media/newsaudio/index.html http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/news/mro20090924.html They have spotted ice in fresh craters. Not 1% ice in Moon soil. 99% ice in mars soil Would you like some ice with your lunar regolith? How about some martian regolith with your ice. |
