Sorry for the delay in posting, I've been in traffic since the launch, but here's a first taste of what I got from Artemis II! I got to view it from the NASA Causeway.

Global Mars in colour !

This is a simulated view of Mars from a vantage point 2500 km above the colossal Valles Marineris canyon system, with enhanced colour and contrast (at this relatively low altitude, the planet’s polar caps are not visible). It is a composite of red, green and blue filter mosaics with the colour band values stretched individually, and has a spatial resolution of 2 km per pixel (although higher resolution data products are possible and already in the works). The image does not show the true beige to brown colours of Mars as seen from orbit – the contrast of each colour channel is stretched to highlight variations.

Darker grey-toned areas of Mars represent grey-black basaltic sands of volcanic origin; lighter patches show clay and sulphate minerals; and the large scar across the planet's face is Valles Marineris.
