Caption:

Raw WAC image of the Deslandres region about 90 km wide. The WAC sees the surface in seven colors, one after the other. During processing, these seven bands are pulled apart to create seven single filter mosaics for scientific analysis. The WAC is designed to help place the NAC images into their proper geologic context and to help geologists map rock types and identify resources. The WAC has a field of view twenty times wider than the NAC though with substantially lower resolution. The WAC image shown here has not been calibrated and the pixel values were stretched to enhance contrast.
