Otherwise, much of Mercury, like the far side of the Moon and Callisto, Rhea, etc., looks (and is!) just random circles on a bland background. Unless you were a serious student of the cartography, you wouldn't know the real map from a "spoof" with similar characteristics. Very true...it can be seen in Mariner-10 shots like this one, a wide angle shot taken from below the south pole near closest approach during the second flyby (and the only such photo taken at anything resembling an angle like this.) -------------------- |
