Product Information This beautiful portrayal of the Martian surface was created from more than 6,000 individual images of the planet acquired by the Viking orbiters during the 1970s. Digital specialists combined highly detailed monochromatic images with a low-resolution global mosaic that approximates Mars' true color and emphasizes brightness variations in its surface. The globe portrays the planet at a scale of approximately 1:22,250,000 and includes about 140 named features approved by the International Astronomical Union. The accompanying 16-page manual provides a wealth of information on the complex geological diversity of this still mysterious planet wonderfully illustrated with full-color photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, The Viking Landers and the Mars Global Surveyor. Measures: 30 cm dia. Includes: plastic stand.  Tell a Friend about this item
