ZZ-Mercury-Rupes-PIA15219-PCF-LXTT.jpgCliffs on the Rim of Eminescu Crater (Enhanced and Sharpened Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)143 visiteThis oblique view shows a portion of the Rim of the crater Eminescu. The angle of this image provides a great perspective for viewing the spectacular Cliffs that formed as material slumped from the Crater Rim into the Crater Interior, as well as small ponds of impact melt perched on the Rim.
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 250-meter/pixel (820 feet/pixel) morphology base map or the 1-Km/pixel (0,6 miles/pixel) color base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's Surface at this high resolution during MESSENGER's one-year mission, but several areas of high scientific interest are generally imaged in this mode each week.
