Caption NASA originale:"Image TRA_000841_1300 was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft on October 1, 2006. The complete image is centered at 49,7 South Lat. and 154,2 East Long. The range to the target site was 248,4 Km (such as about 155,3 miles).
At this distance the image scale is 99,4 cm/pixel (with 4 x 4 binning) so objects ~298 cm across are resolved. The image shown here has been map-projected to 100 cm/pixel and North is up. The image was taken at a MLT of 15:39 and the scene is illuminated from the West with a solar incidence angle of 87, thus the Sun was about 3 above the horizon.
At a Solar Longitude of 114,2, the season on Mars is Northern Summer".
