HiRISE PICTURE OF THE DAY: 16 JULY 2026
An Eroded Step Massif in Cydonia Mensae
From HiWish: “Looking along the images of this entire area, I’m struck by how much these stepped massifs look as though they may have been islands in a shallow sea. I’ll be scanning and requesting images for what I suspect to be a former coastline and looking at these massifs for further clues. There is not much HiRISE coverage of this area, and it’s pretty large and covered with features like this.”
