At 19:21:08 UTC Mastcam Right captured this beautiful layered rock.
The morphology of the upper surface is beautiful, with unique looking loops and depressions.
I find equally beautiful the color gradients present from the top to the bottom of the rock itself.
The rest of the image also contains very interesting details that I recommend you look at carefully…
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.
