This movie of Mars rotation was created by astroimager Damian Peach from images he captured of Mars in October–November 2005. Although the movie's frames were photographed in October + November, the movie actually mimics Mars from June 2005. Peach adjusted the phase, tilt, and South Polar Cap to accomplish this task.
Pretty cool!
