Anaglyph image of Hadley Crater
Anaglyph image of Hadley Crater
Anaglyph images can be created from the nadir channel of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) camera system, which looks vertically down at Mars, and one of the four stereo channels, which are directed obliquely towards the surface. Using red/blue (cyan) or red/green glasses gives a three-dimensional impression of the landscape; north is to the right in the image. Hadley Crater offers a view almost 2600 metres into the Martian crust, made possible by three nested craters. Closer inspection reveals a number of additional, small, younger craters at the lowest point. Hadley Crater lies to the west of the Al-Qahira Vallis (Arabic for 'Mars'), in the transition zone between the ancient, southern highlands and the younger lowlands.
