Mars UTC
CM1: 346.10°
CLat: -19.50°
Description
Before finishing up on Mars, I wanted to get an infrared photo of Mars to cut through the heat plumes.
Notes:
- Sinus Meridiani is at the central meridian.
- Syrtis Major and Hellas Basin are setting.
- Hellas Basin appears to be covered in bright dust.
- Very little is left of the South polar cap.
