Mercury hemisphere, MESSENGER image C016 / 9721
Mercury hemisphere, MESSENGER image. North is at top. This image is centred at longitude 40 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. The Murasaki crater (white) is just below and right of centre. 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 C016/9722

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a mesmerizing view of the Mercury hemisphere, taken by the MESSENGER spacecraft. The image showcases the planet's rugged surface and highlights its diverse geological features. With north at the top, this centred image reveals a wealth of information about Mercury's composition. The vibrant colors in the photograph represent variations in chemical and mineralogical properties of rocks on the planet. Crater rays from recent impacts appear as light blue or white streaks, while medium-blue and dark-blue areas suggest the presence of a dark, opaque mineral. Tan regions indicate volcanic lava plains that have shaped Mercury's landscape over time. One prominent feature visible is Murasaki crater, depicted as a striking white formation located slightly below and to the right of center. This sight adds depth to our understanding of Mercury's complex geology. Measuring 4880 kilometers across, Mercury is known for being the closest planet to our Sun. MESSENGER entered orbit around this enigmatic world in March 2011, providing us with invaluable insights into its mysteries. Published in 2013 using data from MDIS Wide Angle Camera aboard MESSENGER spacecraft, this image offers an orthographic projection showcasing one side of Mercury's spherical shape against a black background. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our solar system and beyond.
