WELTRAUM MARS LANDSCHAFT
This dramatic image released 11 March 1999 taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on board the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) shows a field of dark sand dunes in the Nili Patera region of Syrtis Major. The shapes of these dunes indicate that wind has been steadily transporting the dark sand from the right/upper right toward the lower left. This picture was taken on the first day of the MGS Mapping Phase during the second week of March 1999. It shows an area 2.1 kilometers (1.3miles) wide at the full commanded resolution of 3 meters per pixel. Illumination is from the upper left. (KEYSTONE/- PHOTO/AFP/NASA) === ===
