The Many Colors of Mercury
This scene lies between Moody and Amaral craters. The patch of dark blue Low Reflectance Material (LRM) in the upper center of the image and the bright rayed crater on the right make this a diverse view of Mercury's surface. Perhaps the most enigmatic feature in this image is the small very dark crater just below the bright rayed crater on the right.
