Mars’s Kaiser Crater in 3D

This stereoscopic image shows part of the huge Kaiser Crater’s floor (right), a smaller neighbouring crater (left), and their surroundings on Mars. It was generated from data captured by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express orbiter on 5 October 2025 (orbit 27461). The anaglyph offers a three-dimensional view when viewed using red-green or red-blue glasses.

[Image description: A greyscale image of the surface of Mars, which is slightly lighter on the left and darker on the right. The image is dominated by a circular crater on the left, a bright ridge that runs vertically down the centre, and a patch of dark ripples on the right. The ripples have little white patches on them, making them look slightly shiny or metallic. The rest of the image is scattered with smaller craters and rough-looking land. A small scale bar at the bottom right indicates that north is to the left, and that a line approximately one tenth of the image width is 20 km long. At the top right of the image is an icon of a pair of 3D (red-blue) glasses, indicating that the viewer can see the image in three dimensions when viewing using special glasses.]
