In this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on March, 11, 2013 and during its 49.862nd orbit around the Red Planet, we can see that a large Landslide Deposit fills a portion of the Floor of Coprates Chasma: a huge and extremely long Canyon located the Coprates Quadrangle of Mars, at 13,4° South Latitude and 61,4° West Longitude. Coprates Chasma (---> the Abyss of Coprates) is part of the enormous Valles Marineris Canyon System and its length is of approx. 966 Km (such as about 599,88 miles). Latitude (centered): 12,850° South This frame (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 17224) has been additionally processed, magnified, contrast enhanced 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. |
