Photo Description

Mariner 7 near encounter picture 25 is the first of a series of three wide-angle and one narrow-angle view of the Hellespontus and Hellas regions. The cratered region covering most of the picture to the west (right) is the dark Hellespontus. An apparent escarpment to the east forms the boundary of the light region Hellas. The area covered by this wide-angle frame is approximately 450 by 600 statute miles. The picture was taken using a blue filter. Large scale variations in surface brightness have been suppressed by the camera system and will be restored by computer processing of the data.
