Mars rotation -- 2020 Sep 13 - 2 hours

A day on Mars lasts 24 hours and 37 minutes, so 2 hours of rotation shows quite a bit of movement of its features. The south polar cap is still intact, but shrunk quite a bit in the past few months due to the south pole being at its steepest angle to the sun in September 2020.
