Summary

Description
English: Date acquired: October 17, 2012

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 258976725 Image ID: 2782780 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 37.17° Center Longitude: 304.5° E Resolution: 20 meters/pixel Scale: This image is 21 kilometers (13 miles) across. Incidence Angle: 71.1° Emission Angle: 3.0° Phase Angle: 68.0°

Of Interest: This close-up image of the central peaks of Velazquez crater bears a striking resemblance to the Hawaiian islands. The tops of these peaks are covered by hollows.

This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.
