3D view of Ascuris Planum
This anaglyph image, which conveys a three-dimensional impression of the landscape when viewed through red-blue (cyan) or red-green spectacles, was computed based on data acquired by the nadir channel, which points vertically downwards on to the surface of Mars, and one of the four stereo channels. The image was acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt;) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft.
