slide1 ==> 9.1: The full Moon from Galileo shows highlands (light) and maria basins (dark) (NASA)
slide2 ==> 9.2: IAU (lunar) Crater 308, 80 km in diameter, has slumped walls and a central peak (NASA)
slide3 ==> 9.3: Mare Imbrium, 1300 km in diameter (foreground), and Copernicus (near top limb) (NASA)
slide4 ==> 9.4: Mare Orientale has three rings, the largest 900 km in diameter (NASA)
slide5 ==> 9.5: Hadley Rille, a sinuous, unroofed lava channel in the Imbrium Basin (NASA)
slide6 ==> 9.6: The 107-km diameter crater Copernicus has terraced walls and a central peak (NASA)
slide7 ==> 9.7: The 116-km diameter crater Letronne has been largely filled by later lava flows (NASA)
slide8 ==> 9.8: A mosaic of Mercury as seen from the departing Mariner 10 space probe (NASA)
slide9 ==> 9.9: The Caloris Basin on Mercury (left) is similar to Mare orientale on the Moon (NASA)
slide10 ==> 9.10: Phobos, the larger of Mars' two tiny moons, has one huge crater (NASA)
slide11 ==> 9.11: A global view of Mars shows Valles Marineris (centre) and three volcanos (left) (NASA)
slide12 ==> 9.12: The southern hemisphere of Mars is heavily cratered, though not as heavily as the Moon (NASA)
slide13 ==> 9.13: The Martian volcano Olympus Mons is about 500 km in diameter and rises 26 km above the plain (NASA)
slide14 ==> 9.14: Valles Marineris on Mars, a group of deep faults, is about 4000 km long (NASA)
slide15 ==> 9.15: The 900-km diameter degraded crater Hellas has been modified by later impacts (NASA)
slide16 ==> 9.16: These teardrop-shaped islands seem to have been formed by water flowing from bottom to top of the image (NASA)
slide17 ==> 9.17: The Martian surface is covered with impact fragments and water ice (NASA, Viking 2 lander)
slide18 ==> 9.18: A radar image of the shield volcano Gula Mons on Venus shows the caldera and a flow away from it (NASA)
slide19 ==> 9.19: Sacajawea on Venus appears similar to the caldera of a terrestrial volcano (NASA)
slide20 ==> 9.20: A radar image about 100 km square shows a corona (NASA)
slide21 ==> 9.21: A group of arachnoids in a field of cracked rock (NASA)
slide22 ==> 9.22: A circular impact crater about 30 km in diameter is surrounded by a rocky splash of ejecta (NASA)
slide23 ==> 9.23: The surface of Venus as seen from the Russian Venera-14 lander (Russian Acad. Sci.)
