Oblique View of Warm Season Flows in Newton Crater
Date: 5 Aug 2011

An image combining orbital imagery with 3-D modeling shows flows that appear in spring and summer on a slope inside Mars' Newton crater. Sequences of observations recording the seasonal changes at this site, and a few others with similar flows, might be evidence of salty liquid water active on Mars today.
