Scientific paper

Color reconstruction and ratios of orbital images of Mars confirm earth-based measurements showing red/violet ratios for bright areas to be roughly 1.5 times greater than dark areas. The results show complex variation among dark materials; dark streaks emanating from craters in southern cratered terrains are much bluer than dark materials of the north equatorial plains on which Viking 1 landed.
