Anaglyph image of Utopia Planitia
Anaglyph image of Utopia Planitia
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel of the DLR-operated HRSC camera system on board ESA's Mars Express orbiter, the field of view of which is directed perpendicularly to the surface of Mars, and one of the four oblique stereo channels. When used with red-blue or red-green glasses, they provide a three-dimensional view of the landscape. North is to the right in this image. The topography of the landscape – the differences in the height of the surface formations shaped by ice and wind – can be seen more clearly here than in the coloured plan view, in particular the thermokarst textures of the infill in the two 12- and 10-km craters in the centre of the image.
