A Crater's World
This image provides a zoomed in view of a type of crater that is very popular on Mercury's surface: craters with central peaks. It also highlights this unnamed crater's wall slumps, an irregular depression on the crater floor, and bright hollows that appear to dot the crater. This image is not map projected and South is at the top of the frame.
