Mars: The One in (False) Color [HiRISE] | NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Mars: The One in (False) Color [HiRISE] | NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

This video uses the central enhanced color (red-green-blue) swath. The swath is just under 1 km across and allows us to view the landscape in greater detail than we can in black and white. 

High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE)

This observation targets a highly textured bedrock surface in northeastern Tyrrhena Terra. Due to this location of this material at the junction of incised valley networks, the presence of massive layering at Context Camera resolution, and the high apparent erosional susceptibility of these materials, this location has a high probability of being a sedimentary deposit. This observation will be used to characterize this deposit.

This is a non-narrated clip with ambient sound. This image is less than 1 km (under 1 mi) across and is 261 km (162 mi) above the surface. For full images including scale bars, visit the source link.
