  1. Here are versions of that map in more easy-to-understand forms, cylindrical and azimuthal. Features are optical illusions, but I don't care - it's still a map. But why am I showing it here? Because, after my original atlas of lunar exploration I started work on an atlas of Venus and Mars exploration. It became apparent that Mars needed its own volume (and now there are three), so Venus went into its own book which is now abandoned.

  2. Time for a new topic. We will look at Viking 2 later.
    Pop quiz - which was the first solar system object after Earth and the Moon to be mapped? You at the back? - sorry, it's not Mars. No, the first after Earth and the Moon was Venus, by Francesco Bianchini, working in Rome. He made a globe of Venus in 1727 and published maps in a book in 1728. Of course the features are illusions, probably contrast effects in the eye.
