In this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on October, 8th, 2013, and during its 52.423rd orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a Channel - in the bottom part of the frame - that was created by a powerful Lava Flow rather than a Water Flow. This Surface Feature is located in the Tharsis Plains, to the East of Olympus Mons. Latitude (centered): 20,9613° 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 17711) has been additionally processed, magnified, contrast enhanced, Gamma corrected 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. |
