Looking at the Nasa Watch website http://www.nasawatch.com/, it mentions a flyby of Mars by Stardust smile.gif .

Just in time for the fireworks, here is a simple cylindrical projection mosaic of two of the Stardust images of the comet nucleus. The map extends from the north pole (top) to the south pole (bottom) and the ends and centre are on the long axis. The reprojection is done using a simple ellipsoidal shape model. The viewing directions for the two images were too different for them to fit together perfectly, so I will look at an intermediate image to fix some problems at the join.

Note added on Jan 14: north and south should be reversed! - rotate this image 180 degrees. The illuminated hemisphere is the northern one, not the southern. This now matches the current IAU definition of north. My original comment about north used the older IAU definition. Sorry! Phil
