RSL and darkening fans in East Coprates Chasm
RSL and darkening fans in East Coprates Chasm Sequence of 6 images showing a small area of steep slopes with RSL activity (latitude 14.7 degrees S, longitude 304.6 degrees E). The sequence is in Mars Year 31, southern spring. Note that some of the fans that RSL flow over became darker and brighter over time. There are many other such fans in this region that darkened and brightened at the same times. Image 0.25 m/pixel scale; scene 480 meters wide. NASA / JPL-Caltech / University of Arizona
