The Great Crater Hokusai
Hokusai is a large, young crater on Mercury, 114 kilometers across, with bright rays extending across much of the planet. This mosaic of oblique views, captured by the MESSENGER spacecraft, shows the crater's central peaks, terraced walls, and a frozen sea of impact melt on its floor.
