THEMIS Image of the Day, August 18, 2015. 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 Iani Chaos. The material appearing as dark blue is likely sand that has been caught in the surface furrows.
