Caption NASA:"The MESSENGER Spacecraft sent this frame back to Earth after the it emerged from Superior Solar Conjunction, when the communication is largely blocked by the Sun. This is one of our last views of Mercury from MESSENGER. Featured here is the Ejecta Blanket of a (relatively) fresh Unnamed Impact Crater located just outside the scene. Ejecta scoured the Surface leaving behind beautiful patterns of Secondary Impact Craters".
