    April 6, 2016

    o Cubism in the Western Rim of Holden Crater

    Where the crater rim is well illuminated, we can see blocks
    of material with different colors, representing diverse rock types.

    o Faulted Layers in Collapse Pits

    What formed these layers, and what caused them to collapse into pits?

    o An East Watershed for Jezero Crater

    Jezero Crater is candidate future landing site that contains sediments
    deposited by at least three ancient rivers.

    o A Boulder Festival in Masursky Crater
