Well, are you?
False Color is one of the most interesting aspects of spacecraft imaging, and perhaps one of the most misunderstood. Maybe it is the terminology “false” that creates the misunderstanding. I don’t know. What I do know is that those who do not understand the concept, very often express rather odd ideas about images from Odyssey 2001, MOC, MER etc.
