Slight color varations

Slight color varations
Slight color varations Left: Color composite of an alcove at the Hathor-Anuket boundary. The surface of the consolidated material in the alcove contains distinct spots of brighter material. On the floor beneath, material 20% brighter and bluer than the surroundings can also be seen (e.g. A and B), and may be evidence of recently exposed ice. The picture is composed of three images captured through infrared and blue filters (central wavelengths of 882, 700 and 481 nanometers) of the OSIRIS narrow-angle camera and the image sequence was acquired on 21 August 2014. Right: Bright, highly reflective meter‐size boulders (C) at the Ash–Khepry boundary. An example of brittle fracturing is indicated at D. The image was acquired on 3 September 2014 with the OSIRIS narrow-angle camera. ESA / Rosetta / DLR / MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS / UPD / LAM / IAA / SSO / INTA / UPM / DASP / IDA
