The HiRISE camera climb on NASA ’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter , which isexploring the account of water on Mars , snapped this pic of a orbitual depression on the Red Planet ’s open .
The officialNASAcaption explicate exactly what you ’re project :
This image of a rotary depression on the surface of Mars was take on Jan. 5 , 2015 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ( HiRISE ) camera on NASA’sMars Reconnaissance Orbiter ( MRO ) . The spacecraft has been orbiting Mars since March 2006 and fill out its 40,000th scope around Mars on Feb. 7 , 2015 .
The quarry of this observation is a round depressive disorder in a dark - toned social unit associated with a field of cone to the northeast . At the scale of an image taken by MRO ’s Context Camera , which provides wide field views to provide setting for high - resolution analysis , the depression appear to expose layers particularly on the side or walls , which are overlain by disconsolate sands presumptively associated with the sinister - toned building block . The HiRISE camera ’s solving , which is far higher than that of the Context Camera and its larger step , can help identify potential layers .
