THEMIS Image of the Day, September 9, 2016. Today’s false color image shows part of Syrtis Major Planum, including several wind streaks that show winds are blowing from the northeast (upper right). 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.
