HiRISE PICTURE OF THE DAY: 8 APRIL 2026
Wide Gullies in Terra Cimmeria
Also visible in Context Camera images, the objective of this observation is to examine a group of gullies that are quite wide, but have short channels, on the eastern side of an impact crater. Terra Cimmeria, in the heavily cratered Southern Highlands of Mars, is a region of interest because of Eridania, paleolake that existed during the early part of Mars’ past, when liquid water was abundant in the area.
