    MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR November 13, 2006

    o Mars at LS 137 Degrees (Released 07 November 2006)

    These images capture what Mars typically looks like in mid-afternoon at Ls 137 degrees. In other words, with the exception of occasional differences in weather and polar frost patterns, this is what the red planet looks like this month (November 2006).
    Six views are shown, including the two polar regions. These are composites of 24-26 Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) daily global mapping images acquired at red and blue wavelengths. The 'hole' over the south pole is an area where no images were obtained, because this polar region is enveloped in wintertime darkness.
