Diversity of the Martian Landscape
Image: U. Arizona/NASA
Mars’s Toro Crater comes alive with color in a newly released picture from the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The color-enhanced image highlights mineral diversity on the crater floor. Blues and greens indicate substances such as pyroxene and olivine, while warmer tones show clays and other materials. Long yellow lines cutting through the frame are dunes that are younger than the surrounding bedrock.
