In this nice VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on June, 14th, 2003, and during its 6.640th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a small portion of the Floor of Schaeberle Crater. Schaeberle Crater is an Impact Crater located the Iapygia Quadrangle of Mars, and centered at 24,7° South Latitude and 309,9° West Longitude. It is about 160 Km (such as approx. 99,36 miles) in diameter and it was so named after Johann Martin Schaeberle, a German-American Astronomer (who was born in Wurttemberg - Germany - in the AD 1853, and died in Ann Arbor, Michigan - USA - in the AD 1924). Latitude (centered): 23,7728° South This image (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter falsely colored and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 19428) 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. |
