Today's VIS image shows part of the floor of Rutherford Crater. Blue tones in false color images are indicative of basaltic sand. Rutherford Crater is approximately 107 km (66 miles) in diameter. This crater is located in Arabia Terra. The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image.

ISS038-E-029014 (9 Jan. 2014) --- Manhattan, with its long and narrow Central Park easily seen near the center of the photo, stands out in this view from the International Space Station, photographed by one of the Expedition 38 crew members. Most of the metropolis of New York and parts of New Jersey are visible. MetLife Stadium, site of the 2014 Super Bowl, can be seen in East Rutherford, NJ in the upper right corner of the photo as the circular feature near the oval Meadowlands Race Track.
A Rocket Lab Electron rocket’s nine first-stage Rutherford engines ignite as NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites-19 (ELaNa-19) payload lifts off at 6:33 a.m. UTC on Dec. 17 (1:33 p.m. EST on Dec. 16) from Launch Complex-1, located at Māhia Peninsula in New Zealand. The liftoff marks the first flight of a payload under NASA’s Venture Class Launch Services (VCLS). Managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, VCLS was developed to provide increased access to space specifically for these small spacecraft, called CubeSats.
