HD Images of the Red Planet: A World Without Footprints
This close-up of Gullies at the edge of Hale Crater could be clues to a watery past. These new Mars pics were snapped by the High Resolution (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on August 3. It's one of... ...
New NASA HiRISE Images Show Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars
Phil Plait points out some incredible super-high resolution photos from the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing evidence for the presence of liquid water on Mars.
The “gullies” in these images are only a few meters across. (More photos are here.)

Pretty (strange) picture from HiRISE: Dust flow crater?
Yesterday was the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE team's latest flood of archived images, 1,025 of them. You can browse them all here; they are provided with titles but most have little other descriptive information. I figured most people would browse the pages sequentially and not get through all 65 pages of thumbnails. Show More Summary

Mars: gullies + crater
This image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter satellite shows the wall of a crater in the Northern Lowlands that has several gullies incising it. NAS, Gullies Incising a Crater Wall How gullies are formed on Mars is unclear. Mars is...
Spring dust avalanches on Mars as seen by HiRISE
Last year the UA HiRISE camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured photos of dust avalanches in Mars' polar regions. So, with springtime coming to the planet, the team posted images of the first avalanche found in a new survey.HiRISE observation ESP_016228_2650.
