Solis Lacus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solis Lacus (85° W, 26° S) is a dark feature on Mars. It was once called "Oculus" and is still commonly called "The Eye of Mars" because with the surrounding light area called Thaumasia it resembles the pupil of one. Solis Lacus is known for the variability of its appearance, changing its size and shape when dust storms occur.
