Mercury hemisphere, MESSENGER image C016 / 9722
Mercury hemisphere, MESSENGER image. North is at top. This image is centred at longitude 220 degrees West. The colours show chemical and mineralogical differences between the rocks. Crater rays from fresh impacts, are light blue or white. Medium-blue and dark-blue areas may be a dark, opaque mineral. Tan areas are volcanic lava plains. At upper right is the impact feature the Caloris Basin (tan). Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is 4880 kilometres across. MESSENGER entered orbit around Mercury in March 2011. Image published in 2013, using data from the MDIS Wide Angle Camera. For the other side of the planet, see image C016/9721

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a mesmerizing view of the Mercury hemisphere, taken by the MESSENGER spacecraft. With its north at the top, this image showcases the planet's unique features and geological variations. The colors displayed in this image represent different chemical and mineralogical differences between rocks on Mercury's surface. The light blue or white crater rays visible are remnants of fresh impacts, while medium-blue and dark-blue areas may indicate the presence of a dark, opaque mineral. The tan regions seen in this photograph are volcanic lava plains that add to the planet's diverse landscape. At the upper right corner of the image lies an impact feature known as Caloris Basin, characterized by its tan coloration. This basin is one of Mercury's prominent landmarks. Measuring approximately 4880 kilometers across, Mercury holds significance as being our solar system's closest planet to the Sun. MESSENGER entered orbit around Mercury in March 2011 and has provided invaluable data for scientific research. Published in 2013 using data from MDIS Wide Angle Camera, this print offers us a glimpse into Mercury's mysterious world. Its spherical shape against a black background adds to its allure while reminding us of our place within our vast universe.
