Summary

Description
English: Date acquired: April 18, 2014

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 40112892
Image ID: 6145582
Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS)
Center Latitude: 38.18°
Center Longitude: 175.1° E
Resolution: 27 meters/pixel
Scale: This image is approximately 28 km (17 miles) across
Incidence Angle: 39.9°
Emission Angle: 7.9°
Phase Angle: 41.1°

Of Interest: One of our highest resolution views yet inside the beautiful Balanchine crater reveals the bright hollows that cover portions of the crater. The hollows appear to reside not just on the floor, but on portions of the slumped crater walls as well.

This image was acquired as a targeted set of stereo images. Targeted stereo observations are acquired at resolutions much higher than that of the 200-meter/pixel stereo base map. These targets acquired with the NAC enable the detailed topography of Mercury's surface to be determined for a local area of interest.
