Mars Color Imager on the right side. The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) is a wide-angle, relatively low-resolution camera built for Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. MARCI views the surface of Mars in five visible and two ultraviolet bands. Each day, MARCI collects about 84 images and produces a global map with pixel resolutions ...
Mars in true color, [a] as captured by the Hope orbiter. The Tharsis Montes can be seen at the center, with Olympus Mons just to the left and Valles Marineris at the ...
Generating accurate true-color images of Mars's surface is surprisingly complicated. [5] There is much variation in the color of the sky as reproduced in published images; many of those images, however, are using filters to maximize the scientific value and are not trying to show true color.
Mars is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because of the rusty, reddish-orange sandscape blanketing the planet. That comes into sharp focus in our first color photo snapped by the Mars ...
The most detailed images and observations ever captured of one of Mars' moons have been released by scientists. Pictures taken by Hope Probe from the UAE Space Agency's Emirates Mars Mission (EMM ...
Yogi Rock, analyzed by the Sojourner rover (July 4, 1997). The surface color of the planet Mars appears reddish from a distance because of rusty atmospheric dust.

According to a paper about Mars by JPL, the Pancam system can achieve an angular resolution of 300 microradians, which is three times better than the human eye. [3] It can observe 14 spectral bands, and with two side-by side cameras can generate stereoscopic views of Mars, supporting the creation of large Mars panoramas in excess of 10 Gbit ...
