Mars
Mariner 4 image of the southern highlands south of Sirenum Fossae taken during southern mid winter. The white rims of the craters may be due to frost or clouds, but the contrast is poor. The rim at upper left may be the edge of the crater Newton. The image was taken from 12,200 km and measures 254 km by 242 km. The sun is 58 degrees from zenith and North is up. (Mariner 4, frame 13D)
