This image was taken by the VSK instrument on the USSR Phobos 2 spacecraft in March of 1989 shortly before the spacecraft failed. It is made from blue and red images superimposed on a broadband high resolution image. The color is as true as can be with no real green image, although color variations are exagerated. From the VSK data, this is perhaps the prettiest color picture.
