In this nice Contextual Image (or "CTX" frame) VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on March, 3rd, 2016, and during its 63.078th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see the Complex (---> Terraced) Steinheim Crater, located in the Martian Region known as Arcadia Planitia. This is a relatively pristine (---> recent) Impact Crater with a very well visible Double Layer Ejecta Blanket (---> a.k.a. Pedestal) and a minimally (but we, as IPF, humbly do not agree with this interpretation) modified Floor. Latitude (centered): 54,5451° North This image (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w and Map Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 20616) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, extra-contrast enhanced and sharpened, Gamma corrected and then 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. |
