has gloss | eng: The classical albedo features of Mars are those light and dark features which can be seen on the planet Mars through an Earth-based telescope. Before the age of space probes, several astronomers created maps of Mars in which they gave names to the albedo features that they could see, the most popular system of nomenclature being devised by Giovanni Schiaparelli, who used names from classical antiquity. Today, the improved understanding of Mars enabled by space probes has rendered many of the classical names obsolete for the purposes of cartography; however, some of the names have been given to geographical features on Mars. |
