HiRISE PICTURE OF THE DAY: 30 SEPTEMBER 2026
Sediment Layers in a Xanthe Terra Crater
This image is a followup to a previous observation that we acquired in 2007. Change detection will help us to study and observe the rate of sediment movement and constrain a relative timeline for layering and landscape evolution within the crater. There is also the opportunity for fine scale analysis of dune and ripple migration over two different types of sediment.
