Are Observed White Areas on Mars Real
Abstract
Astronomers describe so-called white areas observed on Mars as bright patches of light most often seen in the desert regions of the Red Planet. They are generally bright in all colors and cospicuous in integrated light (no filters); however, we must analyze this phenomenon before jumping to conclusions. The nature of white areas, as described by the past A.L.P.O. Mars Section Recorder, Chick Capen, should be discussed at length.
