Previous Animation Next Animation Earth-Mars Planet Comparisons (False Color with Axes and Orbit Plane) This is a visualization showing the relative size of Mars compared to that of Earth. This version uses false color textures (there are corresponding true color versions as well). The colors correspond to the heights above/below 'sea level.' This version also includes pole axes and an orbit plane.    Comparing Mars to Earth in false color (with axes and orbit plane) Duration: 40.0 seconds Available formats:   720x486 (29.97 fps) Frames   1280x720 (30 fps) Frames   640x480 (30 fps) MPEG-1   21 MB   720x480 (29.97 fps) MPEG-2   34 MB   320x240 (30 fps) MPEG-1   5 MB   320x240     JPEG         7 KB   320x240 (30 fps) X-FLV       1 MB How to play our movies    Comparing Mars to Earth in false color Available formats:   2650 x 1920     TIFF 2 MB   160 x 80           PNG       20 KB   320 x 231         JPEG       6 KB   80 x 40             PNG         5 KB    Comparing Mars to Earth in false color (with axes and orbit plane) Available formats:   2650 x 1920     TIFF 4 MB   320 x 231         JPEG       6 KB Animation Number: 2877 Completed: 2003-12-18 Animators: Greg Shirah (NASA/GSFC) (Lead)   Alex Kekesi (GST) Writer: Michael Starobin (HTSI) Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: MGS/MOLA (1997/09/15-2001/01/31)   GTOPO30 (1993-1997) Data Collected: MGS/MOLA:1997/09/15-2001/01/31, GTOPO30:1993-1997 Series: Earth-Mars Comparisons Keywords: SVS >> Earth SVS >> HDTV SVS >> Mars More Information on this topic available at: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2004/0422earthmars.html     Please give credit for this item to: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio Back to Top
