HiPOD: Week of 16 March 2026

(Column extras are for 16–19 March)

	Colorful Rocks near Chaotic Terrains Chaos can be beautiful! This image covers rocky plains in a low-latitude area of Mars, which lie adjacent to pits containing scattered blocks of high-standing material, called “chaos terrains.”
	Probing Below the Surface with Impact Craters This HiRISE image shows a pedestal crater in Arcadia Planitia that has material of different brightness and color at various distances from the crater.
	Lava in Athabasca Valles While Athabasca Valles has a complex history, volcanic eruption generally dominates the landscape.
	Landslides in Valles Marineris This image shows part of several long, lobe-shaped deposits of sediment in the Coprates Chasma region of Valles Marineris. These deposits formed when rocks in very steep terrain became unstable and collapsed, forming a landslide.
	Exploring Northeast Syrtis via Jezero Crater A key attraction of Syrtis for missions is lithologic diversity in clear and readily accessible stratigraphic context through any potential landing ellipse.
