In this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on March, 25th, 2014, and during its 54.464th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a very large number of Dust Devil Tracks (one of the most common Aeolian - such as "Wind-related/caused" - Surface Features of Mars) that are located in the Northern Region of Utopia Planitia. A few Unnamed Impact Craters - of different size, color, with and without "Pedestal", and all at deeply different Stages of Degradation - are also visible all over the scene. Latitude (centered): 54,2732° 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 18263) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, 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. |
