Dusty 123…
That’s Sol 123 – Phoenix’s 123rd day on Mars – and here are some colourisations I’ve made using raw microscope images from the latest release…
That’s a dust sample colourised by myself beyond what would be considered “natural”, just to make it look pretty, really. I just like the colours!
If you want a purer, RGB-combined and no tweaking image, this is what the dust looks like in natural-ish colour…
… and tweaking that image’s contrast and levels just a little gives this (I think) rather more pleasing image…
Whichever version you like best, that’s fine. As long as you like one of them!




well, I, for one, like them all
