At 01:20:10 UTC Mastcam Left captured a beautiful blue sky and a variously colored landscape.
Red-brick, old pink, brown, green and turquoise with an area in the distance that looks like the result of a landslide or perhaps a mudslide….
Not just red on the Red Planet!
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 a reduction of noise 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.
