In this beautiful VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on September, 7th, 2003, and during its 7.606th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see, a small portion of the Floor, of Huygens Crater. Huygens Crater is approx. 456 Km (such as about 283,186 miles) in diameter and it is centered at 304,4° West Longitude and 14,0° South Latitude, in the Iapygia Quadrangle of Mars. Latitude (centered): 16,4613° 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 19488) 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. |
