OK folks. I have to admit I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed in HiRISE images already, and I know the tap hasn't even been turned fully on yet! There is just so much territory to be looked at.
To help us all see just a little bit more I propose that we start a 'Picture of the day' type thing (not necessarily one per day, the more the merrier ) of HiRISE screen sized sub-images. Not necessarily the most amazing bits, but a bit random, I find myself quite drawn to the less obvious bits that no one may have seen yet. I'm going to use the same filenames as the original images appended with approximate pixel coordinates of the sub-image so that it can be found easily in the original. James -------------------- |

I wonder too, of the image linked by Nix I can see some parts that looks a bit like something I am familiar with from Earth perspective, bedrock that have been cracked and jumbled around and then fused together again so the layers can be vertical in one place and horizontal a few hundred meters away. This in the bottom right corner, it is similar to what I have seen many times in my neck of the woods. But going left (west?) to about middle bottom we see large pieces of bedrock that have cracked and slided sideways where one piece even have created one overhang. Is it pressure from layers above that now are gone, sliding on wet, icy or muddy bedrock, or perhaps even one ancient Mars quake that caused this? To rephrase what they say on the Hirise operation center website, this is one area that cries out for exploration by a mobile rover. |
