About this image

The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image. Today's false color image shows a cross section of Gale Crater, including the large layered deposit in the center of the crater. The Curiosity Rover is located on the floor of Gale Crater.

Please see the THEMIS Data Citation Note for details on crediting THEMIS images.
