THEMIS Image of the Day, December 29, 2016. Today’s false color image shows some of the many channels that make up Arda Valles. Their shape and meandering courses suggest that they were eroded by flowing streams or rivers.
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.
