About this image

At the moment, Mars is the planet that keeps on giving! Despite a diameter of only 6.6" there is still a considerable amount of detail available, particularly in red light.

The large dark marking at lower centre is Mare Acidalium, above it is Mare Erythraeum with Sinus Meridiani/Sabaeus to it's left.
