An Uplifted Jumble of Ancient Bedrock
The enhanced-color cutout shows a great variety of colors and textures in the bedrock, where it is exposed from beneath a dark fine-grained mantle. The mantle is sometimes modified by the wind into dunes. The bedrock here includes massive, layered, and broken-up (brecciated) areas.
Image cutout is less than 1 km (under 1 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 256 km (159 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
