About this image

Today's false color image shows part of Arabia Terra. Dark blue tones in false color indicate basaltic sands, which can be seen in the unnamed crater at the top of the 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.

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