Here it is. Some notes about the map: It was constructed by me from the mosaics created for the Atlas of Mercury by NASA, (thanks to NSSDC for supplying the digital data). Becuse of discrepancies in the original mosaics this map may have errors as large as a few degrees. The original is 12K but only 4K fits to the 1MB limit here. With other regions added we may have to compress it more.
It is in simple cylindrical projection with 0 degrees longitude at the center. Some of the missing parts are the missing parts of the mosaics which are possible to fill with Mariner 10 data. First I think we should do this. And please add the radar data last as they have North-South ambiguity. |
