Anaglyph image of Becquerel Crater
Anaglyph image of Becquerel Crater
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel in combination with data from one of the four stereo channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft that are directed obliquely towards the planet’s surface. When viewed through red-blue or red-cyan glasses, these provide a three-dimensional impression of the landscape. North is to the right in the image. The difference in altitude between the lowest point in the crater and the surrounding highland is more than 3000 metres. The spatial impression is amplified by increasing the viewing distance. The area of the region shown here is 500 kilometres by 225 kilometres, corresponding to the size of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
