  ....WHOA!!! Incredible!!! Blew Kay away as well, man, thanks!Loved the plateau as well, but the larger crater is really something, too...it's deep. If I saw that thing on Earth, I'd think "sinkhole", not "crater"....

Glad you enjoyed them Nick!
 I've just updated that post with a couple of new images, prior to submitting it to this week's "Carnival of Space", so you might like to take another look: the one of the gullies cutting through the ghost crater is quite stunning, I think... -------------------- |

Wow! They're either more common than I thought, or MRO is getting very lucky these days!

Nice recent impact: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_016299_2095
Wonder where all the rubble went? It's so smooth. ETA:

The rubble got ripped - Fifteen ways from Friday!
a buckshot impact, if ever I saw one the lower pic shows the caboose!  EDIT: The upper pic ejecta rays are from the 'engine' - the only remnants of its crater! -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

QUOTE (Explorer1 @ Mar 10 2010, 03:15 PM)  Wow! They're either more common than I thought, or MRO is getting very lucky these days! They are actually very common in early northern spring, during which we shoot this area with CTX (and HiRISE, as we both monitor this area during northern spring, along with other northern polar scarps) basically every time we fly over it and there's generally always an avalanche in progress in every image. It's always exciting to see dynamic processes on Mars as they're happening! -------------------- Twitter: @tanyaofmars

That's pretty incredible. The 'Mars is dead' myth is down the drain!

Not an avalanche but a rockfall that caught my eye...
You can almost hear the rocks cracking and clacking as they bounce down that cliff face, can't you..? Edit: I just posted this on Twitter, and it got retweeted by Prof Brian Cox!

And here's an example of what these things look like in CTX images (this is at 2x magnification):

Freakin' gorgeous, is all, Stu.
Wow! Never thought I would ever see avalanches on another world caught in the act...and now they seem ubiquitous on Mars. -------------------- 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.
