Clementine Collection

Tycho Crater


These UV/VIS images were formed from a mosaic of five image cubes, each consisting of spectral bands (415 nm, 750 nm, 900 nm, 950 nm, and 1000 nm). These data were acquired during orbit 40 on February 28, 1994.

Left:
Ratio of wavelengths 750 nm/1000 nm which is useful for evaluating the amount of mafic materials. In this ratio the unusual polygonal pattern in the floor of the crater is greatly enhanced relative to the simple color composite on the right.
Middle:
Color composite formed with ratio images.

A high resolution image is also available. Warning: this file is very, very, large (55.7 Mbytes)!!!
