About this image

A very gibbous Mars on 15th Jan. at just 9.0" across. Syrtis Major as the dark wedge on the left well seen. The tiny South Polar Cap has now disappeared onto the night side and so vanished from view for the first time this apparition. Amazingly hints of Huygens Crater seen at top left corner of Syrtis Major
