Mars Map at 2.12 Microns
UKIRT 3.8m Telescope - Aug/Sep 2003

This is a map of Mars at 2.12 microns wavelength made from a number of
images obtained during the 2003
opposition with the UIST instrument on the 3.8m United Kingdom Infrared
Telescope. The features seen on
the map are similar to those seen at visible wavelengths, although the
contrast tends to be higher.
