HiPOD: Light-Toned Chaos

Often times, observations are planned to fill in HiRISE coverage where there is image data from other instruments, in this case, from CRISM, also on MRO. Aram Chaos is a 280-kilometer diameter impact crater at the eastern end of the massive Valles Marineris canyon system. The mineral hematite has been located here, signature of a once aqueous environment.
