Craters on Mercury,MESSENGER image. Northern volcanic plains on Mercury,part of the first global digital elevation model (DEM) of the planet. The colours have been enhanced to emphasize different types of rocks. At lower right is the 291-kilometre-wide impact basin Mendelssohn. At lower left are large wrinkle ridges,formed during lava cooling,with buried impact craters also visible. Near top,a bright orange region is the location of a volcanic vent. The MESSENGER (Mercury Surface,Space Environment,Geochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft orbited Mercury from March 2011 to April 2015. This image was released in May 2016 | |
