Calahorra Crater false color (THEMIS_IOTD_20141224)
The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color image shows part of Calahorra Crater in Chryse Planitia.
The scene here spans 19 x 53 kilometers (12 x 33 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image, bit.ly/1xbWgM3
