The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color image shows part of Gale Crater. Gale Crater is the home of the Curiosity Rover. Orbit Number: 46072 Latitude: -4.53679 Longitude: 137.296 Instrument: VIS Captured: 2012-05-03 17:29 http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21196
