Astronomy Picture of the Day

Explanation: Get out your red-blue glasses and hover over the surface of Mars. Taken on July 24, the 3D colour view is from the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter's 10th flight above the Red Planet. Two images from Ingenuity's colour camera, both captured at an altitude of 12 metres (40 feet), but a few metres apart to provide a stereo perspective, were used to construct the colour 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.
