Interesting new image of the Arsia Mons pit.

The polar pit gullies image is pretty good, too.

I've always heard that those were just that -- anecdotes. However, from what I've heard, the more recent orbital reconaissance assets are multi-spectral, able to return images in color and in non-visible frequencies.

I've heard that the rumors of being able to read license plates were apocryphal, but that you could, in many cases, determine the issuing state of a given license plate from its unique color combination. You could also determine the rank of a given officer by the color of his shoulderboards (depending on the particular uniform specifications of the government you're observing).

Infrared imaging, of course, has very obvious benefits.
