Martian landscape. This HiRISE image shows a crater in the Tyrrhena Terra region and a set of star dunes visible on the western edge of a small crater within the larger target crater. Star dunes form when sand is blown by winds coming from multiple directions, common in craters. This results in intersecting dunes, forming a polygonal, or 'star' pattern. The dune sands are most likely made of basalt. Possible clay-bearing material is probably within the surrounding bedrock. Image shows terrain less than 5 km (3 mi) across. A unique optimised version of NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/JPL/UArizona Image details File size:

These rounded landforms evolve relatively quickly and erode into the surface of the ice cap, approximately 4 to 5 meters (15 feet) per year.Their interesting shapes make for a striking appearance on the surface. It is referred to as a Òresidual capÓ as it relates to ice that has persisted beyond the changing of the seasons.Image is less than 5 km. An optimised and enhanced version of NASA imagery.

Nili Fossae is often on the short-list for potential landing sites for exploration, usually due to the interesting minerals that have been detected here. This observation is to search for possible clays along a fracture in the eastern region of Nili Fossae, which is a large group of concentric grabens located near the Isidis impact basin in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars.

NASA is interested in imaging the vent regions of volcanoes to understand volcanic processes, and search for signs of recent activity. This HiRISE image shows that the summit caldera is mantled by dust and covered by small impact craters, so this volcano hasnÕt been active recently enough to affect current atmospheric trace gases.
