In this very interesting VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on July, 16th, 2002, and during its 2.600th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a small portion (rich with relatively long Chains of simple Collapse Features as well as Collapse Pits which are both located) of the the Southern Flank of the large Martian Volcano known as Ascraeus Mons. Latitude (centered): 8,8283° North This picture (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter false colors and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 19006) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, contrast enhanced and sharpened, Gamma corrected and then re-colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a normal human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team. |
