  Description:

    Abstract:

      All of the Mariner 10 passes occurred under similar

      lighting conditions. Across the Shakespeare quadrangle,

      these conditions varied from low light at the terminator

      near the west boundary to higher sun at the east boundary.

      Consequently, lighting conditions were favorable for

      determining fine-scale relief in the west, but

      progressively less so toward the east. Conversely, albedo

      features such as bright crater rays, which are conspicuous

      in the eastern part, become increasingly difficult to

      recognize westward toward the terminator. This range

      of lighting conditions across the quadrangle results in

      inconsistent geologic mapping, because topography, albedo,

      and surface texture are critical for characterizing

      individual materials units. The average resolution of the

      pictures used from the first pass is just over 1 km.

    Purpose:

    Supplemental_Information:

      The map includes a strip of about 10° of longitude

      (averaging 400 km in width) of the Liguria quadrangle (H-4)

      to the west-as much of this quadrangle as is permitted by

      resolution and lighting conditions.
