Figure 54 – From “A Fossil Hunters Guide to <strong>Mars</strong>” – Burns Cliff press release<br />
Above - NASA’s press release version of Burns Cliff made using infrared as a colour and destroying<br />
the contrast and image sharpness. The sky has been literally erased and painted over, then blurred<br />
into the crater edge. There is no good technical or scientific reason for this representation. The<br />
colours are so far off that it barely qualifies as a picture of <strong>Mars</strong>.<br />
Figure 55 – From “A Fossil Hunters Guide to <strong>Mars</strong>” – Burns Cliff true colour image<br />
True colour image assembly of the raw data, showing Burns Cliff in Endurance Crater as it would<br />
appear to a human observer. Note a slight pink tint to the blue sky, very similar to what we see in<br />
deserts on Earth. From L4, L5, and L6 filters.<br />
