(.#537).- Some craters and reliefs for the study of the planet Mars. Part 2.

Mars, Twin Craters, HRSC Image
Twin craters, Mars, satellite image. Two craters side by side in the Thaumasia Planum region south of Valles Marineris. Each crater was caused by a separate impact and each measures 50 kilometres in diameter. Both craters contain a central pit which is a common feature among high velocity impacts. The northern (right) crater is named Arima. The image data is from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express Orbiter.

Hebes Chasma, Mars :
Hebes Chasma, Mars

DESCRIPTION:
Hebes Chasma is a depression just north of the enormous Valles Marineris canyon on Mars. Inside the chasm is Hebes Mensa, a 5 kilometer high mesa that appears to have undergone an unusual partial collapse. This image, taken by the Mars Express spacecraft currently orbiting Mars, shows in detail the unusual horseshoe-shaped indentation in the central mesa of the chasm. Material from the mesa appears to have flowed onto the floor of the chasm, while a possible dark layer appears to have pooled like ink on a downslope landing. A recent hypothesis holds that salty rock composes some lower layers in Hebes Chasma, with the salt dissolving in melted ice flows that drained through holes into an underground aquifer.

Perspective View of Arda Valles, Mars :
Perspective View of Arda Valles, Mars
This perspective view in Arda Valles
was generated from the main camera's stereo channels on ESA's Mars Express. The image focuses on a 25 km-wide impact crater filled with sediments, that have subsequently collapsed into chaotic terrain. The jumbled nodules in the crater rim probably indicate the former level of the infilling sediments. A number of fracture-like features appear to extend out to the smoother basin floor to the right. They could be a later manifestation of stresses due to subsidence or compaction of surface materials. The scene is part of region imaged by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on Mars Express on July 20, 2015.
