  2. Programming note II: color cutouts are usually from the red-green-blue (RGB) center swath of our images. We sometimes use the infrared-red-blue (IRB). Enhanced color shows us details we don’t see in black and white. Plus, they’re gorgeous.

  3. Programming note: enhanced color cutouts are less than 1 km across; black and white cutouts are less than 5 km across. Links to the observation details page (either direct or via the HiPOD page) display all image products, including those with scale bars.

  7. Hi3D 31 Jan 2020: Battlescar Fantastica – This heavily cratered terrain looks awesome in 3D, but you likely would not want to land a rover here. This image is in Tempe Terre in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars. NASA/JPL/UArizona

  9. HiPOD 31 Jan 2020: North Polar Block Party The steep edge of the north polar cap is falling apart. This animation shows where a section of the slope at right has collapsed since 3 Mars years ago and deposited a field of ice blocks. NASA/JPL/UArizona

  15. HiPOD 29 Jan 2020: The Schiaparelli Crash Site HiRISE re-imaged this spot again through a much clearer atmosphere in Dec 2019. Much of the diffuse dark material has faded, such that the crater is now more distinct. NASA/JPL/UArizona

  17. Hi3D 28 Jan 2020: Gullies ’n’ More – In addition to monitoring the gullies in Henbury Crater, there’s the added bonus of some delicate dust devil tracks over the rim. This is at the southern end of the crater. NASA/JPL/UArizona
