THEMIS Image of the Day, January 17, 2017. Today’s false color image shows part of the interior of Coprates Chasma. Coprates is one segment of the gigantic equatorial rift valley, Valles Marineris.
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.
