Today's APOD shows us a network of large and small Channels dissecting the Surface of an Highland Region located in Terra Cimmeria. The frame was acquired by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter during its 49.492nd orbit around the Red Planet.

This frame (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 16274) has been additionally processed and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a 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.
