THEMIS Image of the Day, January 4, 2016. The THEMIS 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 Iani Chaos. The “dark blue” material is likely basaltic sand.
