Another capture of the Red Planet following sunrise. Elevation and angular size identical to the last image, background slightly darker due to a longer night. This view is centered on longitude 215 with Mare Cimmerium on the terminator, Mare Tyrrhenum immediately to its west. Resolution is good enough to detect the peak of Elysium Mons volcano (appearing as a bright white dot in the north-east due to an orographic cloud). Blimp in the polar cap is also confirmed, indicating signs of possible breakup as we move towards the late southern spring.[Sebastian Lukas : Canberra,Australia]
