Coord. (centered): 1,258° South Lat. and 161,856° East Long.
Spacecraft altitude: 270,3 Km (such as about 168,9 miles)
Original image scale range: 27,0 cm/pixel (with 1 x 1 binning) so objects ~ 81 cm across are resolved
Map projected scale: 25 cm/pixel
Map projection: EQUIRECTANGULAR
Emission Angle: 3,6°
Sun-Mars-MRO (or "Phase") Angle: 51,0°
Solar Incidence Angle: 54° (meaning that the Sun was about 36° above the Local Horizon of the imaged Region, at the time that the picture was taken)

ZZ-Mercury-Craters-Raffaello_Crater-PIA16307-PCF-LXTT-IPF-1.jpgRaffaello Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)84 visiteThis beautiful Absolute Natural Color image-mosaic of the huge Impact Basin Raffaello (named after the Italian Renaissance painter and having a diameter of approx. 343 Km), taken in the past month of October 2012 by the NASA - MESSENGER Spacecraft, shows us a wide diversity of colors (which, as you know, represent a wide variety of Mineral Compositions) that exist and can be easily identified within the Volcanic Plains that, eons ago, flooded the Raffaello Basin's Floor. Furthermore, many white-colored Hollows appear to be in process of being formed along most of the Rim and the Northern portion of the Floor - and, in both cases, they are forming in the so-called Low Reflectance Material (or LRM for short) - of a smaller - roughly 40-Kilometer (such as approx. 25-miles) diameter -, Unnamed and Highly Complex Impact Crater that is located just South of the center of the giant Raffaello Basin.

This picture (which is an Original NASA - MESSENGER Spacecraft color frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 16307) has been additionally processed and then re-colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - MESSENGER Spacecraft and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mercury), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team. Different colors, as well as different shades of the same color, mean, among other things, the existence of different Elements (Minerals) present on the Surface of Mercury, each having a different Albedo (---> Reflectivity) and Chemical Composition.MareKromiumNov 25, 2012

Volcanic_Features-Fractures-AM-PIA16499-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgFractures near and around Alba Mons (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia - Italian Planetary Foundation)80 visiteIn addition to its great size (consider that its Lava Flow Fields extend from over than 1400 Km from the Summit) and relatively low relief (the Summit of the Volcano reaches an elevation of "only" 6,8 Km as to the surrounding Lava Plains), Alba Mons possesses a number of other very distinguishing features. For instance, the central portion of the Volcano is surrounded by an incomplete Ring of Faults (---> Graben) and Fractures (like the ones that we see in today's APOD), called Alba Fossae (the ones located on the Volcano's Western Flank), and Tantalus Fossae (which are found on its Eastern Flank).
Alba Mons also has very long and well preserved Lava Flows that form a Radiating Pattern, starting from its Central Region. The enormous lengths of some individual Flow (something more than 300 Km - such as about 190 miles) implies that the Lavas which formed them were not only very fluid (---> meaning that they possessed very Low Viscosity) at the time of the eruption, but that they also must have been erupted in an extremely high volume (---> quantity). Many of the Flows have distinctive morphologies, consisting of long, sinuous Ridges with discontinuous Central Lava Channels. The low areas between the Ridges (and particularly along the Alba's Northern Flank) show a branching pattern of shallow Gullies and Channels (---> Valley Networks) that likely formed by water runoff. Last, but not least, Alba Mons shows, among other things, some of the oldest, and most extensively exposed Deposits that can be found in the whole Volcanic District of Tharsis.
