This observation was a “nadir” target, meaning our camera was pointing straight down at the surface. These pockmarked plains outside of a larger impact crater show some very nice colors. The top cutout is from our red-green-blue filter, and the bottom uses the infrared-red-blue filter. Both are less than 1 km across.
