In the image of Heffner, Hellas is dimly seen. However, Hellas is
yellow this time and it is reflected. It seems that it is a color
of not only a mere atmospheric difference but also light dust. The
North Pole is reflected as white. There is a possibility of the
mischief by an atmospheric difference contrasting it with the image
of yesterday's Pujic. Dark pattern of Aetheria can be barely
confirmed. (repoted by 1 observer)
