I'm looking for a Mercanter projection of Mars that I can print out of my printer. Or even just a rectangle, where can I find one?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
I built this:

http://www.davesbrain.ca/mars_atlas.php

Play with it. There's three different maps, a grid, labels and even links to EXTREMELY hi-rez downloads.

Also, I sent away to NASA for the poster of the altitude map. Cool! It's big! 5ft across!

If you go to my http://www.davesbrain.ca/portal.php" , look for my Mars section (3rd row). You will find quite a few links to large maps of Mars.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
