In this beautiful VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on June, 3rd, 2004, and during its 10.960th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see the beginning (---> the Source) of the large Outflow Channel known as Ares Vallis, which is located right at the edge of the Martian Region known as Iani Chaos. Latitude (centered): 0,305279° North 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 19778) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, extra-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. |
