In this highly suggestive VIS image, obtained by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on January, 5th, 2009, during its 35.752nd orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a relatively small portion part of the Martian Sub-Region known as Peraea Cavus: an Impact Basin located to the East of Hadriacus Mons (an ancient and low Volcanic Mountain that is located in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, just to the North/East of the Hellas Impact Basin and to the South/West of the - similar - Tyrrhenus Mons). This Martian Sub-Region should be relatively young (Geologically speaking), because of - as you can well see here - the lack (as a matter of fact, the presence of a minimum amount) of (Unnamed) and quite small Impact Craters. Latitude (centered at approx.): 29,8818° 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 20594) 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. |
