Mars on Aug 10, 2003

This set of Martian images show you the rotation of Mars for 4.5 hours captured on Aug 10, 2003. These images have covered about 180 degrees in longitude as the meridian for center. One of the striking Martian features of the "Syrtis Major" has vanished into the western terminator, and the "SINUS Sabaeus", looks like a black finger, has been moving from east to west.
