In this absolutely beautiful VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on January, 29th, 2004, and during its 9.428th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a small portion of the Martian Canyon - belonging to the Great Valles Marineris Canyon System - known as Candor Chasma (---> Chasma = Abyss). Latitude (centered): 5,22568° 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 19748) 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. |
