Title:
Mars Odyssey: Mars' Northern Hemisphere
Instrument:
MGS/MOLA
Instrument:
Viking
Description:
This is a mosaic of the northern hemisphere of Mars as seen through Viking data.
Abstract:
NASA's Mars Odyssey detected water ice in the northern hemisphere. During the winter months, the icy soil is covered by a thick layer of carbon dioxide ('dry ice') frost obscuring the water ice signature.This animation is match-framed to #2779 and #2780. Its purpose is to establish a frame of reference using a true color dataset. In this case, that data is from Viking.
