Candor Chasma - False Color

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 Candor Chasma. The bright tones in this image are the canyon walls, the bluer material is sand and other debris on the canyon floor.
