NASA s Blue Dunes on the Red Planet
According to Insider s Apr. 11 report, the photo NASA released shows the dune s wind-sculpted lines surrounding Mars frosty northern polar cap.
The colors were due to the fact that the photo is a false-color image, which means that the cooler temperatures are recorded in bluer tints while warmer temperatures are depicted in yellows and oranges tints, giving the image its golden color glow.
