Tethys-PIA10462.jpgTethys, in full light (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)60 visiteCaption NASA:"Five hours after acquiring PIA10460, the Cassini Spacecraft turned its cameras back to Tethys for a more southerly view. The southern reaches of Ithaca Chasma are seen here, along with the large crater Telemus, just right of center.
Lit terrain seen here is on the Saturn-Facing Side of Tethys (approx. 1062 Km, or 660 miles across).
This view looks toward the Southern Hemisphere from a perspective 43° South of the moon's Equator. North is toward the top and rotated 30° to the right.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 28, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 313.000 Km (such as about 194.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 42°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".MareKromium

ZZ-Mercury-Terminator-PIA10937-0.jpgNorthern Latitudes and a possible Orbital Anomaly (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)57 visiteAbout 91 minutes after MESSENGER’s closest pass by the Planet, MDIS acquired this image of Mercury’s Northern Surface, which is one in a set of 48 that form a mosaic of the departing Planet. In this image, the left portion of the Surface fades into darkness at the Terminator, the line between the sunlit dayside of the Planet and the dark night side.
The left-side portions of the surface that are just coming out of the darkness are being hit with the first rays of morning sunlight. Some of the surface to the right of this scene can be viewed in this previously released image looking toward Mercury’s North Pole (PIA10193).
Date Acquired: January 14, 2008
Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 108830334
Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS)
Resolution: 0,8 Km/pixel (0,5 miles/pixel) Scale: The width of this image is about 800 Km (approx. 500 miles)
Spacecraft Altitude: about 30.700 Km (approx. 19.100 miles)MareKromium

ZZ-Mercury-Terminator-PIA10939.jpgSveinsdóttir Crater and Beagle Rupes (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)60 visiteNamed for JúlÃana Sveinsdóttir, an Icelandic painter and textile artist, Sveinsdóttir Crater superimposed by Beagle Rupes is a distinctive feature on Mercury's landscape. Unusually elliptical in shape, the Crater was produced by the impact of an object that hit Mercury’s Surface obliquely. More than 600 Km (about 370 miles) long and one of the largest fault scarps on the Planet, Beagle Rupes marks the surface expression of a large thrust fault believed to have formed as Mercury cooled and the entire planet shrank. Beagle Rupes crosscuts Sveinsdóttir Crater and has uplifted the easternmost portion (right side portion) of the crater floor by almost a kilometer, indicating that most of the fault activity at Beagle Rupes occurred after the impact that created Sveinsdóttir. Crosscutting relationships such as this are used to understand the sequence in time of the different processes that have affected Mercury’s evolution.
