Gale Crater - False Color
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 a cross section of Gale Crater, including the large layered deposit on the crater floor. The Curiosity Rover is located in Gale Crater. Gale crater is 150km (90 miles) in diameter. Orbit Number: 78672 Latitude: -5.332 Longitude: 138.139 Instrument: VIS Captured: 2019-09-09 04:00 https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24653
