Summary

Description
English: Date acquired: November 16, 2013

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 26946160 Image ID: 5209643 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filter: 7 (748 nanometers) Center Latitude: 20.68° Center Longitude: 244.9° E Resolution: 236 meters/pixel Scale: Dürer basin is approximately 195 km (121 mi.) in diameter. Incidence Angle: 67.1° Emission Angle: 62.9° Phase Angle: 30.0°

Of Interest: This image, taken at a high emission angle, helps the eye to see the three-dimensional nature of the scene. Dürer, a peak-ring basin, can be seen in the foreground. Dürer's peak ring is dotted with hollows. North is to the left in this image.

This image was acquired as part of MDIS's high-incidence-angle base map. The high-incidence-angle base map complements the surface morphology base map of MESSENGER's primary mission that was acquired under generally more moderate incidence angles. High incidence angles, achieved when the Sun is near the horizon, result in long shadows that accentuate the small-scale topography of geologic features. The high-incidence-angle base map was acquired with an average resolution of 200 meters/pixel.
