Summary

The global views presented here in Figures 3.1 to 3.14 convey properties of the surface (albedo, elevation, dust cover, relative abundance of various minerals), near-surface region (ice, thermal inertia), and interior (local gravity, crustal thickness, magnetic field). The maps are in simple cylindrical projection, using planetocentric coordinates where possible. Some datasets are only available in other views and are reproduced as they were made available.
