Photos taken by the HiRISE aparatus will add a whole new dimension to photos taken of Mars. Incorporating infrared, blue-green and red filters into its picture taking will help scientists see exactly what kind of elements they are looking at. Substances like dust, ice, etc. will all appear different in photos taken by the HiRISE camera. Extremely large photos (multigigabite images) will also reveal a lot of information to researchers.
The mesas seens in this false-color HiRISE image are part of another clay-rich region of Mars of great interest to scientists searching for evidence of ancient Martian life.
