Such blue and white Mars

In early August, a thousand fresh photos appeared on the site of the HiRISE telescope, which is standing on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Mars probe. And if, when viewed from afar, Mars appears to be uniformly red or orange, then near it looks like a much more diverse planet.

There may be a lot of olivine (a mineral widely distributed in igneous rocks). Even in natural colors, the spectacle is interesting.

Crater on the Hesperia Plateau, added infrared channel, artificial colors.



Again the dunes, here, surprisingly, natural colors.



Something has recently fallen here, artificial colors.

Plot of chaos Atlantis (artificial colors).



"Spiders" (gas geysers) - natural colors.



A virtual walk through Mars is, I think, a great lesson for Friday nights. I remind you the photos here .
