Possible Rock Falls on Steep Slopes in Cerberus Fossae

Possible Rock Falls in Cerberus Fossae
Our science goal is to obtain an image in order to identify fresh rockfalls that could be associated with seismic events/Marsquakes that might have been detected at some point by the InSight lander. The blue in our picture is likely basaltic (volcanic) in origin, not water.
