Aonia Terra on Mars

This image from ESA’s Mars Express shows part of the scarred and colourful landscape that makes up Aonia Terra, an upland region in the southern highlands of Mars.

This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express’ High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 25 April 2022. It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. It is a ‘true colour’ image, reflecting what would be seen by the human eye if looking at this region of Mars.

The ground resolution is approximately 14 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 282°E/48°S. North is to the right.
