Visible Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum

Which instrument captured a visible light image of Victoria Crater on Mars?

• Hubble Space Telescope

• HiRISE camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

• James Webb Space Telescope

• OSIRIS-REx

What is the effect of an object's temperature on the color of light it emits?

• Higher temperature results in longer wavelengths, turning the color more red.

• Higher temperature results in shorter wavelengths, turning the color more blue.

• Temperature has no effect on color
