Anaglyph Image of Vesta's Equatorial Region (II)

Anaglyph Image of Vesta's Equatorial Region (II)
Photojournal: PIA14825
Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
Published: October 5, 2011

This anaglyph image shows the topography of part of Vesta's equatorial region; this uneven topography is mostly due to large, ancient, rather degraded ruin eroded craters. You need 3-D glasses to view this image.
