Jezero Crater: Raised Ridges in 3D
Explanation: Get out your red-blue glasses and hover over the surface of Mars . Taken on July 24, the 3D color view is from the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter's 10th flight above the Red Planet . Two images from Ingenuity's color camera, both captured at an altitude of 12 meters (40 feet), but a few meters apart to provide a stereo perspective, were used to construct the color anaglyph. Ingenuity's stereo images were made at the request of the Mars Perseverance rover science team. The team is considering a visit to these raised ridges on the floor of Jezero Crater during Perseverance's first science campaign.
