From HiWish: “The team at NASA ARC is working on a project called HiRISE Image Analysis, aimed at selecting potential future landing sites for a robotic mission. This area shows a thermal anomaly in THEMIS data, indicating a potential cave entrance or simply a depression with high thermal inertia. However, to distinguish between these two hypotheses, HiRISE images are necessary. The area of interest is located on young lava flows in the Elysium region.”
