tharsis region of mars, photographed by mars express, 25th september 2014.

4 of mars’ best known volcanoes are visible: at top, near the terminator, olympus mons. at far right, in a line, ascraeus (top), pavonis (middle), and arsia mons (bottom). we have a slightly better view of the south polar region than the north, but this date (Ls 202.6) is early in the southern autumn, so the polar cap is not at its greatest extent.

10 images, playing forward then back in a loop. have slightly brightened the nightside to show the whole disc of the planet.
