Back Mars 3D anaglyph (colour)

Mars 3D anaglyph (colour)


Date: 26 February 2007
Satellite: Rosetta
Depicts: Mars
Copyright: ESA © 2007 MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/RSSD/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA

At closest approach at 03:15 CET on 25 February 2007, Rosetta passed over the planet's surface at a relative speed of 36 191 km/hour. At the same time, Mars was rotating and thus by processing and combining images acquired by OSIRIS at different times, it has been possible to produce a stereoscopic image, or anaglyph.

The image was produced by combining several views of Mars taken from slightly different angles. In this case, the anaglyph was generated using images acquired 6 minutes apart. To see the 3D effect, use a pair of left-eye red, right-eye blue colour glasses.
