Acheron Fossae in 3D
This stereoscopic image of Mars shows the Acheron Fossae region of Mars. It was generated from data captured by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA’s Mars Express orbiter on 28 October 2024 during orbit 26287. The anaglyph offers a three-dimensional view when viewed using red-green or red-blue glasses.

Image description: A grey-toned image shows a largely disrupted, broken-up, irregular patch of ground, with numerous geological features scattered throughout. Most prominently, a system of deep grooves begins in the right half of the image and radiates outwards, extending out of frame. A smoother, irregularly shaped patch of ground can be seen in the middle third of the image, while further ridges and ditches – more gentle than those to the right – are again visible in the left third, along with a few scattered circular impact craters. The image offers a 3D view when using red-green or red-blue glasses.
