THEMIS: Dune field in Dulovo Crater

Dunes in Dulovo Crater THEMIS_IOTD_20161125)THEMIS Image of the Day, November 25, 2016. Today’s false color image shows the dunes on the floor of Dulovo Crater. The blue tint indicates that the sand grains are particles of basaltic rock.

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.
