Solar System B

Have any of you guys had any questions on imaging?

Well, I won't be doing Solar System this year, but I had learned a lot from this event.
What are example questions that have been created towards imaging? I just want examples.

Haven't had very many yet. There have been a few asking about what spacecraft took an image, or when an image was taken. It would be useful to know a little about maps, I think. I will update you later with more information.

Okay. Thank You..

Does anyone know how to identify craters and the such; I've tried memorizing their appearances, but I just tried a practiced test and failrd that portion; all craters look fundamentally alike. Doesn't anyone have any tips? Thanks!

You can use planetary nomenclature for some things, but really all you can do is memorize by appearance.

Haven't you look for list of craters? I think Wikipedia have a page on list of craters. If you're having difficulties, identifying whichcrater is which you should probably put images of craters in your notes. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else.

Guys, I just realized why I got some of the identification questions wrong on the practice test; the Florida test in the test exchange identifies the crater in question 10 (image E) wrong; in the key it is identified as the Caloris Basin (which is pretty flat in comparison to given crater), but it is in fact the "spider" crater, or the apollodorus and the pantheon fossae on Mercury!

[JoeyC]

I knew something was wrong; there's no mistaking those lines. The apollodorus is in the middle of the Caloris Basin, true, but common sense tell us the correct answer is not the Caloris Basin.

is where the image came from.

Does anybody know the best places to find pictures of Mar's surface features?
