Mercury in Accentuated Color
The colors of Mercury are subtle, but a MESSENGER spacecraft image shows them in accentuated detail. This view includes infrared colors beyond human vision, making the hot world appear a bit more brown. Many craters visible here are stacked on top of older ones, telling a story of impact history.
