Mercury as Revealed by MESSENGER
Mercury as revealed by the MESSENGER spacecraft in 2008. This image was taken as MESSENGER looked back 90 minutes after passing Mercury, from an altitude of about 27,000 kilometers. It shows terrain previously mapped only by radar. Among the newly imaged features are unusually long rays that extend like meridians from a young crater near the north pole.
