This is a chart which details the various mileages between certain objects on the Martian surface. It is rounded off to the nearest 5 kilometers. It is pretty cool because it actually shows the difference in conversions between miles and kilometers and you can better understand how much larger of a distance unit the mile is compared to the kilometer. Just amazing really. For example Viking 2 is 4205 miles from Viking 1 but in kilometers it is a whopping 6725 kilometers! Enjoy…
