THEMIS Image of the Day, October 13, 2016. Today’s false color image shows part of the interior deposit in Firsoff Crater. The dark blue material is most likely basaltic sand. 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.
