A New Mars Impact Crater | NASA MRO
June 15, 2018: These HiRISE images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) capture a new, dated (within about a decade) impact crater that triggered a slope streak. When the meteoroid hit the surface and exploded to make the crater, it also destabilized the slope and initiated this avalanche.

The crater itself is only 5 meters across, but the streak it started is 1 kilometer long! Slope streaks are created when dry dust avalanches leave behind dark swaths on dusty Martian hills. The faded scar of an old avalanche is also visible to the side of the new dark streak.

The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates HiRISE, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colorado. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

Mars: Ice Block Avalanche | NASA MRO
The HiRISE camera oboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been re-imaging regions first photographed in 2006 through 2007, six Mars years ago. This long baseline allows us to see large, rare changes as well as many smaller changes.

One of the most actively changing areas on Mars are the steep edges of the North Polar layered deposits. This image shows many new ice blocks compared to an earlier image in December 2006.

MRO Imagery: Captured 319 km above the surface, less than 1 km across
Black and white images are 5 km across; enhanced color images are 1 km.

مریخ: " تلماسه های آبی" | MRO ناسا
Mars: "Once in a Blue Dune" | NASA MRO
YouTube version
Sand dunes often accumulate in the floors of craters. In this region of Lyot Crater there is a field of classic barchan dunes. Just to the south of the group of barchan dunes is one large dune with a more complex structure. This particular dune, appearing like turquoise blue in enhanced color, is made of finer material and/or has a different composition than the surroundings.

Images captured by the HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) 347 kilometers above the surface

Black and white images are 5 km across; enhanced color images are 1 km.

A barchan or barkhan dune is a crescent-shaped dune. The term was introduced in 1881 by Russian naturalist Alexander von Middendorf, for crescent-shaped sand dunes in Turkestan and other inland desert regions. Barchans face the wind, appearing convex and are produced by wind action predominately from one direction. They are a very common landform in sandy deserts all over the world and are arc-shaped, markedly asymmetrical in cross section, with a gentle slope facing toward the wind sand ridge, comprising well-sorted sand. This type of dune possesses two "horns" that face downwind, with the steeper slope known as the slip face, facing away from the wind. (Source: Wikipedia)
