Anaglyph image of a crater in the Aonia Terra region
Anaglyph image of a crater in the Aonia Terra region
Anaglyph images can be generated using data acquired by the nadir channel (oriented perpendicularly towards the surface of Mars) of the HRSC camera system operated by DLR on board ESA's Mars Express orbiter and one of the four oblique-view stereo channels. When viewed with red-blue or red-green glasses, these images give a three-dimensional view of the landscape. The topography (the differences in height between the surface features) is clearly apparent. The crater in the centre of the image is approximately 2.5 kilometres deep. It lies in a network of valleys that are partially filled with material, so they are not as deep as they were when they were first formed. North is to the right of the image.
