At 06:31:45 UTC the Mastcam Right captured this colorful ridge of layered rocks with a somewhat hazy blue sky and wonderful (water?) flows on the sand below.
The situation is very similar to the previous post (see https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/photos/a.1625578140858706/2695087970574379/) but with a more hazy sky. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to have at least two photos of the same area taken at different times; it would be very interesting to monitor these small RSLs over days and/or weeks!
The original image is a black and white encoding of the Bayer mask that has been converted to color through a process called “debayering” or “demosaicing”. In addition, the photo has undergone noise reduction due to Jpeg compression, white balance and a slight increase in microcontrast and color saturation in order to make the colors more similar to what the human eye would see.
