Rock Garden - Sol 20 and 38
|
This preliminary enhanced color image mosaic of the area North-East of the lander was made using images acquired in the afternoon of Sol 20 (top portion of the mosaic) and Sol 38 (bottom portion of the mosaic) by the IMP camera as part of the Super-Pan data set. The differences in brightness between the upper and lower portions of the mosaic result from slightly different sun angle positions between Soles 20 and 38, and can be compensated by subsequent analysis of the reflectance of surface rocks and soils under different lighting conditions.
Red, green, and blue filter images from the right eye were combined to simulate slightly amplified natural color. The bright, flat areas Scooby Doo and Baker's Bench are visible left of center and above center in the mosaic, respectively. Airbags and a portion of one of the lander petals are visible in the foreground.
