National Geographic have had a reputation for inspiring people to care about the universe for over 100 years. Thus they lend their name only to those products that they believe are of a sufficiently high standard both technically and professionally.
National geographic are proud to have released a series of maps of which this Mars is a member.
This dual-sided map is an amalgamation of almost 1,000 images taken from the Mars Global Surveyor satellite. It provides the sharpest rendering yet of Mars and its terrain.
Over 18 insets illustrate the past and present geography and landscape of Mars including evidence of: daily surface changes from wind, ice, and possibly water; past catastrophic floods; and massive volcanic activity with lava flows larger than the area of Russia! A timeline reveals our fascination with Mars, and our efforts to describe it with scientific exploration and Hollywood fantasy.
Purchasing this map supports the National Geographic ideal that is educating people about the world that we live in, in order to help protect it.
