Gale Crater - False Color
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 part of Gale Crater. The dark blue is basaltic sand. Gale Crater is the "home" of the Curiosity Rover.
