Albedoformationer på Mars
Planeten Mars, som den ser ut genom ett litet teleskop. Färgskiftningarna är albedoformationer.
Albedoformationerna på Mars är ljusa och mörka formationer och mönster som kan ses på planeten Mars från ett jordbaserat teleskop. Innan rymdsonder började användas för utforskningen av Mars, gjorde astronomer flera kartor över Mars där formationerna gavs namn. Idag har den ökade förståelsen av Mars geografi gjort att många av namnen inte längre brukas, men vissa gamla namn används fortfarande för att beskriva geografiska områden på planeten.[1][2]

Mars Hubble.jpg
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
