Caption NASA:"This image depicts a stark contrast between Albedo differences on Mercury. The Crater Kalidasa, located in the upper left of the image, contains a smaller but exceptionally bright Crater on its Floor. Nearby to the South/West, Low Reflectance Material (LRM) is found on Kalidasa's Floor. LRM is also visible at the upper left corner of the image. The law of superposition tells us that Kalidasa must have formed before the small bright Crater".
