Summary
| Description |
English: Mercury's hollows are among its most distinctive -- and unusual -- surface features. In this stunning view, we see a field of hollows in the western portion of the floor of Zeami impact basin. Hollows populate much of the rest of the basin's interior, with large concentrations several kilometers across occurring in the north and northeast parts of the floor. Individual hollows, however, can be as small as a couple of hundred meters in width.
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 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week. Date acquired: March 02, 2015 Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 67599424 Image ID: 8072780 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 3.0° S Center Longitude: 211.8° E Resolution: 20 meters/pixel Scale: The left-to-right field of view in this image is about 20 km (12.4 mi.) across Incidence Angle: 73.9° Emission Angle: 23.6° Phase Angle: 97.5° North is down in this image. |
