Since
Galileo, astronomers and planetary scientists work hard to draw
accurate representations of planetary surfaces. Planetary mapping today
is a tool of geological investigation, landing site selection and also a
visual statement of our ever expanding horizon of discovery. From
copper engravings to dynamic online maps, the technique of presenting
planetary maps changed a lot. In this presentation I will show some
early examples of how planetary maps can communicate unspoken
preconceptions (no, its not the canals), and show how we mapped the
Navua Valles, which may have episodically provided habitable
environments on the inner rim of Hellas Basin on Mars. The talk is part
of the International Map Year celebrations.
