  Images like this will allow us to compare these layers with 
  other layers, such study will shed light on the past environment 
  of Mars.

  These warm, enhanced colors are due to minerals altered by water, 
  whereas the blue and green colors are from unaltered minerals such 
  as olivine and pyroxene.
