| Title |
Gullies Galore! |
| Original Caption Released with Image |
Released 2 September 2003 The northern rim of Hale Crater, located in Noachis Terra, is heavily dissected by the enigmatic gullies whose origin has been attributed to snow melt, ground water discharge (springs), and even liquid CO2. Image information: VIS instrument. Latitude -34.6, Longitude 324 East (36 West). 19 meter/pixel resolution. Note: this THEMIS visual image has not been radiometrically nor geometrically calibrated for this preliminary release. An empirical correction has been performed to remove instrumental effects. A linear shift has been applied in the cross-track and down-track direction to approximate spacecraft and planetary motion. Fully calibrated and geometrically projected images will be released through the Planetary Data System in accordance with Project policies at a later time. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) was developed by Arizona State University, Tempe, in collaboration with Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing. The THEMIS investigation is led by Dr. Philip Christensen at Arizona State University. Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver, is the prime contractor for the Odyssey project, and developed and built the orbiter. Mission operations are conducted jointly from Lockheed Martin and from JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. |

Spallanzani's Neighbor |
| Original Caption Released with Image |
Released 9 September 2003 Along the southeast rim of the Hellas Basin, a 27 km diameter crater hosts an eroded layered deposit like many of the neighboring craters. Compared to the weirdly-shaped remnants of the deposit in the adjacent Spallanzani Crater [ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA03849 ], the layers in this image are more subdued. It is not clear why material deposited into and eroded from two craters so close together would appear so different. Image information: VIS instrument. Latitude -57.6, Longitude 84.7 East (275.3 West). 19 meter/pixel resolution. Note: this THEMIS visual image has not been radiometrically nor geometrically calibrated for this preliminary release. An empirical correction has been performed to remove instrumental effects. A linear shift has been applied in the cross-track and down-track direction to approximate spacecraft and planetary motion.

Butterfly Ejecta |
| Original Caption Released with Image |
Released 4 September 2003 In the heavily cratered southern highlands of Mars, the type of crater seen in this THEMIS visible image is relatively rare. Elliptical craters with "butterfly" ejecta patterns make up roughly 5% of the total crater population of Mars. They are caused by impactors which hit the surface at oblique, or very shallow angles. Similar craters are also seen in about the same abundance on the Moon and Venus. Image information: VIS instrument. Latitude -24.6, Longitude 41 East (319 West). 19 meter/pixel resolution. Note: this THEMIS visual image has not been radiometrically nor geometrically calibrated for this preliminary release. An empirical correction has been performed to remove instrumental effects.

Dune Field in a Southern Highlands Crater |

Released 5 September 2003 Dark dunes sit on a rough, eroding sedimentary surface in the floor of an 83 km diameter crater. This crater is one of dozens in Noachis Terra, in the southern highlands of Mars, to have both dark dunes and an eroding surface. Note how the dunes seem to ignore the underlying rough surface in some cases, while in other places the dunes seem to have wrapped themselves around sharp knobs. Image information: VIS instrument. Latitude -40.5, Longitude 34.6 East (325.4 West). 19 meter/pixel resolution. Note: this THEMIS visual image has not been radiometrically nor geometrically calibrated for this preliminary release.
