Onboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the HiRISE camera offers unprecedented image quality, giving us a view of the Red Planet in a way never before seen. It's the most powerful camera ever to leave Earth's orbit.

	HiRISE at One Year: Student Image of the Week-Seasonal Changes of South Polar Dark Dune Field This image was suggested by Andras Sik's SUPERNOVA astronomy and space research class in Budapest, Hungary.

	Gullies and Concentric Fill in an Unnamed Rampart Crater in Noachis Terra The gullies shown in this image are similar to terrestrial gullies produced by flowing water.

	Basal Exposure of South Polar Layered Deposits Internal layering in the south polar layered deposits exposed on a scarp.

	Rugged Crater Floor in Terra Tyrrhena In this image, dark mesas contrast with light-colored, topographically lower outcrops.
