COSMIC MESSAGE

The colors of Mercury are enhanced in this view from the MESSENGER spacecraft, revealing distinct chemical, mineralogical, and physical regions across its cratered surface. Human eyes would not see these color differences, but they are real. The large, circular, tan-colored feature at the upper right is the Caloris basin, formed by an ancient impact.
