Acheron

The Acheron (or; Ἀχέρων Acheron or Ἀχερούσιος Acherousios; Αχέροντας Acherontas) is a river in the Epirus region of northwest Greece.

See Acheron Fossae and Acheron

Albedo

Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body.

See Acheron Fossae and Albedo

Amazonian (Mars)

The Amazonian is a geologic system and time period on the planet Mars characterized by low rates of meteorite and asteroid impacts and by cold, hyperarid conditions broadly similar to those on Mars today.

See Acheron Fossae and Amazonian (Mars)

Astrogeology Research Program

The Astrogeology Science Center is the entity within the United States Geological Survey concerned with the study of planetary geology and planetary cartography.

See Acheron Fossae and Astrogeology Research Program

Diacria quadrangle

The Diacria quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program.

See Acheron Fossae and Diacria quadrangle

Fossa (planetary nomenclature)

In planetary nomenclature, a fossa (pl. fossae) is a long, narrow depression (trough) on the surface of an extraterrestrial body, such as a planet or moon.

See Acheron Fossae and Fossa (planetary nomenclature)

Geology of Mars

The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars.

See Acheron Fossae and Geology of Mars

Graben

In geology, a graben is a depressed block of the crust of a planet or moon, bordered by parallel normal faults.

See Acheron Fossae and Graben

Hesperian

The Hesperian is a geologic system and time period on the planet Mars characterized by widespread volcanic activity and catastrophic flooding that carved immense outflow channels across the surface.

See Acheron Fossae and Hesperian

HiRISE

High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment is a camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter which has been orbiting and studying Mars since 2006.

See Acheron Fossae and HiRISE

HiWish program

HiWish is a program created by NASA so that anyone can suggest a place for the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to photograph.

See Acheron Fossae and HiWish program

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.

See Acheron Fossae and Mars

United States Geological Survey

The United States Geological Survey (USGS), founded as the Geological Survey, is an agency of the United States government whose work spans the disciplines of biology, geography, geology, and hydrology.
