NewzAncient clay-rich sediments near Mars’ Hellas Basin have been captured in a new image published on Friday by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Taken by the spacecraft's HiRISE camera, the photograph reveals the sediments exposed between wind-blown dunes.
In the enhanced-colour version of the image, the exposed sediments appear orangish and feature distinct polygonal fractures, providing new visual data of the Martian surface and geological formations near the Hellas Basin.
